NHL Gamecenter through your computer with an IP proxy (to get the local black out game) will get you the same thing. Then just hook your computer to your tv.
The benefit is it also works on your ipad/phone/laptop when on the road. Plus all the games are recorded to watch whenever you want.

Does anyone else notice the -88 over burning and over flying estimated flying times? Where I come from that's mighty taboo.

Mostly into ATL. Overburns of 6-700lbs with a planned 1:15 flight taking 1:22-1:24. Same with other airports.
My guess is that there's no arrival buffer built into the flight planning software. It just plans time and gas from the end of the arrival direct the airport.

Interesting. Thanks all for the responses. My company is starting to get more aggressive about minimizing the extra fuel we carry around, and I was trying to get a feel for how the big boys play it.

I don't do a full HOWZITHANGIN unless I'm bored or it's a CUN type flight. When I do it I've never really seen a 600 lb difference that cannot be explained. I just run the CI that's on the flight plan though unless there is a good reason to go higher. Of course sometimes you go 3 hours staring at a yoke in a bank and those fading white indicators out of trim, but I don't tell anyone how to fly. Probably doesn't help fuel burn.
Next time I fly I'll watch it but I can't say I've seen anything that jumped out at me.

Well right before they decided to go lower I'm doing a CLE-MSP flight the FMS pops up and says we'll land with 2900 lbs. Captain panics and wants to divert to MKE which was not on the flight plan anywhere. I said, okay, let me tell dispatch you want to divert. NO TIME! Well, it's 30 minutes behind us... NO TIME! MUST GO! TELL ATC WE NEED PRIORITY HANDLING! (all I could think was don't laugh, I think he's serious)
We made it to MSP. We landed with 2900 lbs and he filled out an ASAP. I bet that dude had an aneurism when it dropped to 1800ish lbs. Actually, I think he was bound to have an aneurism anyways.
The way I think we came to accept this was that we weren't the ones ordering fuel anymore. You couldn't blame us if the fuel we were given turned out not to be enough and we diverted. Which of course costs lots of money and if it happened often then they'd adjust up. I don't think they had to, it ended up working and we just reset our personal minimums.
but it was kind of like "this is your problem, not my problem." I'll land with plenty of fuel, but whether that place was the intended destination was up to them and their computer.
