*** SORRY TO POST THIS IN TWO LOCATIONS...THE OTHER WAS A MISTAKE *** >:(
Any chance (or am I missing it in the current version?) you could look into adding some sort of "network capability" for the program? Meaning, all of the locations where our league plays have wired/wireless networks, but not all have easy access to multiple TVs. We'd love to be able to send the program info (screen shots/sounds) to multiple laptops, spread throughout the playing floors, for ease of visability from different locations. Output to TVs works just as well, except that we have much more (easier) access to laptops and PCs than TVs...plus, you can do it all wirelessly with the network setup, as opposed to running S-video and RCA audio cables all over the place.
It isn't a huge deal...the program is GREAT as it is! Just something we'd like to see (if possible) in the future.
Thanks! Keep up the good work!

I agree, this is a much needed feature. I currently use TD on three screens by using a laptop, an additional monitor on that, and another PC using VNC to show the screen of the laptop. But, I've reached my limit, and don't have a way to add a forth of fifth screen. :'(

As Moose as suggested, using VNC works quite well. I use ULTRAVNC server on the TD pc and use the viewer on a second pc and on third laptop. Works nicely.

Thats a great idea

ULTRAVNC will allow more than one client connect to a single server?

Thanks for the input. I'll give the VNC-deals a try! I think 3 screens would be enough for us right now, although more would be GREAT!

ULTRAVNC will allow more than one client connect to a single server?
Yes. I was able to do two PCs and a laptop as clients connecting to a fourth pc as the server. I don't know thought if this an atribute specific to ULTRAVNC. When i was researching the various VNC options, ULTRA seemed the best windows centric one.

Excellent! Thanks! I'll be adding an extra table on my next tournament, and was really concerned they would not have clear view to a screen.

The VNC thing, sounds like a nice work around.
But it really doesnt solve the problem.
Players in other rooms/location would still be able to see what you are doing when adding new players, busting players out, moving players etc.
The suggestion should still stand! :)
