Deanne, have you considered streaming IPTV (Internet Protocol Television)with
VLC (VideoLan)on your computers?
http://www.tvover.net/ServiceProvider,search,1-N.aspx would this service apply
to Education?
We are currently trialling that service in New Zealand. The beauty of it is that
it is also mutlicast and streams on any PCs around our campuses with no specific
hardware necessary.. Quality of reception is generally good even blown full
screen on a 17" monitor.
By the by, if anybody has IPTV on this list, we are looking for solutions to
schedule our recordings (under screenrights agreement of course) but haven't
found any yet - . IPTV recorder is not reliable and there is no EPG (Electronic
Programming Guide) at the back-end so we cannot use a PVR (Personal Video
Recorder like AmiNet). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks :-)

Hi,
The LRC at KU is currently running a Gateway PC lab with Asus/ViXS
Combo-210E NTSC/ATSC TV Tuner cards so that students may watch live
international satellite tv at the computers. These computers
originally were running Windows Vista, but for some reason the
computers kept having video and memory card issues. IT's attempt at a
solution was to revert the computers back to XP but we have not yet
found a driver for the TV Tuner cards which means that our expensive
satellite tv connections are fruitless at the moment. It did find a
3rd party driver, but although the system now recognizes the tuner
card, our TV tuner software is still not working.
We have a funding request in to change our TV tuner cards, but given
the current economic conditions, we suspect that this funding will not
be approved.
I am wondering if anyone has had any similar issues and whether they
have found any worthwhile workarounds that we might try.
Thank you,
Deanne Cobb-Zygadlo
