I am watching the Memphis-ECU game on CSTV All-Acess. The problem is the window they show it in is tiny on my resoultion. I would like ot just watch the feed instead in Windows Media Player. The feed in full screen is terrible. Is there anyway to view in WMP?

The feed quality will be as bad in windows media full screen. The problem is not how you're viewing it but how it is encoded. The video/audio is compressed a lot so you can watch it live without a mega high speed conection so if you try to watch it on full screen mode, it looks so pixelated because the compression.

The best thing to do? put it full screen if you want, and then place your chair like 3 meters from the screen, and that way you won't notice as much the low quality. I'm used to it as the only way for me in Spain to watch college football is from internet feeds.
