I want my Revolution TV

It is not literally a 'live' broadcast. As I was watching the show, the screen locked up and hadn't come back in a few minutes. So, I refreshed the screen and the whole show started over again. Obviously not live.

Multiple camera's are also an issue on his show. I could try to explain what a failure this was, but it's too confusing and technical to do it right. Lets just say 'garbage screen' is what using multiple cameras displayed.

The show plays up to the same point and abruptly stops and freezes in the same spot every time. Of the reported 2 hour broadcast, I've seen about 3 minutes of it before it falls apart and freezes up.

I dont know if it his attempt at using multiple cameras that is doing it, or just a bad broadcasting program. It could even be that his bandwidth is being eaten up by an increased number of viewers (thanks to the Daily Paul announcements about his program).

Whatever the case, I cannot use the example of Tom Green's show as a quality reference to work a similar site. Whatever he is doing is what we should NOT be doing - as far as his setup is concerned.

Yes, great idea about the live show. No, it's not functional or usable in it's current form.

I'm still researching potential avenues to follow, and hope others will as well.

If you decide to take the time to look into possible broadcast software, here's some things to remember:

1. It must be able to be broadcast from any location to a single server
2. It must be able to capture a file of the broadcast for viewing at a later date
3. It must be something that more than one 'news room' can use, and broadcast their video to our server
4. It must be something that can be embedded in our site, for viewing in ANY browser.

For number 4, if it means a standard plugin like flash, or that the file gets saved to different formats (avi, mpg, rm, mov, etc) that would work.

Proprietary viewers and plugins should be avoided if we can avoid them. Many people will not install plugins they do not recognize.

If we can at least get the video broadcast live - whether we have to broadcast the initial live version through some other system or not - we absolutely need to have full access to the resulting file for archiving purposes.
It is too difficult to try to archive, index and categorize/schedule video broadcasts when those broadcasts are not on our own server.

I'll keep looking. Though, so far, the few spots I did look were filled with pornographic 'channels' - so if you're going to join in the hunt, be careful where you go and what you click on - it can get nasty out there.

To me the idea of Revolution TV should run all day no just a show or a talk show.

I see news, culture, cooking, comedy, etc... all with the theme or ideas of individual liberty and/or Constitutional overtones in every show that comes on the Channnel.

For ex cooking show could talk about how forefathers did stuff and focus on their writings and daily lifes that show how individuals with lots of liberty sustained themselves without government nanny state.

GREAT IDEA....

"Tom Green Live is a LIVE Internet-based talk show featuring celebrity guests, hosted by comedian Tom Green, from his living room…yes, his actual living room. The show is LIVE at TomGreen.com, The Channel, from 8pm-9pm Monday through Friday. Although technically it’s a talk show, it’s really much more than that. Tom Green Live is non-political, and because The Channel is completely independent, pretty much anything goes! With a combination of A-List celebrity guests, a global audience, and Tom’s signature brand of comedy, Tom Green Live is unlike anything you’ve seen before! Tom takes calls over the phone, along with Skype video calls from viewers from locations as varied as the U.S.A, Canada, Australia, Estonia, and Argentina, not to mention several others! The mission is simple, to make you laugh, and to make you, the viewers, an integral part of the show by harnessing the power of the National Internet, something no other show can offer, sounds cool right? Check it out right here by clicking on the “Tom Green Live” tab on the player, oh, and make sure you tell a friend!"

I believe this is the only Live Interactive Internet TV station broadcasting on a daily basis. It has been doing this for the last 18 months.

It sounds like he put this together on a shoestring budget. He was featured on CNN this morning and gave a tour of his livingroom, where he does his broadcasts and is decorated like a talk show studio set. Looks quite professional.

I agree totally! Although this will never make MSM airwaves ... I have started a Ron Paul Video site. This is obviously not live ... but I am a HUGE RP supporter and I am going to update as much as possible!

REVOLUTION!

This is a great idea and it should be taken very seriously. The severely biased MSM watchers need to get a reality check. Anything that would bring the RP message to television is something I would strongly support. Count me in!

We need to start a new station! We have the power and the ability. If anyone is interested in joining with me to build up a new MSM station please write me at justin@mass-appealmedia.com
