I have been working on a streaming project for a client in NYC. We are using Ustream as it is a free service while we work on our content and presentations. I have to say they offer a very compelling service. They have a host of mobile services (made for them by Telestream) that allow you to broadcast (live) from a phone and view from a phone. You can also push edited content to there service via a 3rd mobile app. Currently I am using a product called Wirecast (also by Telestream) that behaves much like a "master control" for live broadcast. Once we have honed our presentation skills we will probably move to a fee based "content distribution network" this would allow us more control over access and transcoding for various platform. It would also free us from the annoying adverts that these free services have. Let me know if I can be of any help in the future.

RC just scored - excellent!!!!

That was a BIG win!

I assume that there is supposed to be a cameraman operating it? or does it just point in one direction? Looks like he is broadcasting from a phone. I use the iphone app "ustream broadcaster" to do something similar but better quality. Would be better if the broadcast had audio also.

Now that was totally amazing. I don't think I have enjoyed radio commentary so much in ages.!!!

yess!!!!!

hmmm, So I guess the clocks didn't go forward in the UK yet. Oh well, an hour to kill. I'll get the coffee on. :D

Scotty, sad to see it's come to this but applaud your leadership in trying to find a workable solution to the current issues. I don't often post but read often. I would like to see new users earn their posting rights. Initially they could be restricted to one post per day until a period of time passes to gain full write access. The probationary period could also be used to control users who fall foul of a new moderation points system. like yellow cards, you accumulate points until eventually you are put on restrictive posting permissions. I would also like to see moderators explain themselves less. If a post is removed or edited then the user should assume that the post was deemed unacceptable and should re-read the rules of the message board or contact the webmaster for clarification. Mods should not get into it online with users. This would go a long way to relieving some of the pressure on the moderators. Moderators should also have the option of being anonymous. In many ways having anonymous moderators should remove personalization of dispute. Well I'm beginning to foam at the mouth so I better get out and ride the bike. Good night and good luck!

ZATTOO player ;) cheers mun!

twitter B) :P :023:

I these days of smartphones and rollover mins and free weekends etc, it would not take much for commentary to be made over a telephone where it could then be received and relayed for free (with a little bit of work). Guerilla reporting could become all the rage.

me too. Is whoooosh the sound it makes as it goes over yer heid?

Oh yeah, it just keeps getting worse the more I think about it. :(

oh yes!

You made my heart race with that comment Gordy. Cheers mun!

I look a little out of focus. That's kind of how i felt that whole weekend. Good times!

aye, they were both good lads before they came down with that "out of focus virus" nice job guys!

A good New Year to all! And a big thank you to Scotty, CaleyD and the rest of the mods for an excellent year online. (wish our team could operate as smoothly as this forum). All the best and see you next year!

should have sent him to aussieland to have his erse kicked by jock twatt

Let's not forget that the player has already been punished for the offence. It would seem that some people are not happy with that and would like to see him lose his job as well. That just doesn't seem fair given it was a 1st offence and the punishment was a small fine. Please don't let this one incident ruin his career. He should be given a chance to prove that this was an isolated case that will not be repeated. Sure, drug taking in sports sends a bad message but forgiveness and support sends an even stronger one. Use the carrot not the stick.

TWS - Thank you!

not available outside of UK. can't quite see the point of this.

That would be so great.
