Internet TV

Does anyone watch TV provided via an Internet connection?

Who is the provider?

I presume a FreeBSD box would be usable for viewing.

Do you know what a streaming service is?

Do you know what a streaming service is?

Is it something that uses TCP instead of UDP?

if it was a real UDP joke you wouldn't care that nobody got it

Do you know what a streaming service is?

Assuming I do, how can I tell if I can use one?

Would I be able to use one on computer on my network?

ie would FreeBSD be suitable?

This looks interesting.

In fact WOW !!!!!! Just tried it. I'm waiting for the catch,...


I still can't believe that such a thing exists and I've never even come across it.

I have to show that to my wife. She sometimes has a station that shows Japanese TV and she'll just play it on her Mac and use Mac's airplay to run it on the TV but this seems like it would give her a wider variety.

In addition, I see they have, in the Japan section, a local Hiroshima section. She'll like that, as it's where she grew up, though now her family is in Kobe and Osaka. Maturin, thanks again. balanga, like you, I, too, am surprised I never heard of this.

Me too. I keep wondering where the catch is and how long this service will be available.

It sounds too good to be true and works pretty well over a 4G phone connection which supplies my home network.

Antarctica doesn't broadcast. Anyone heading to the continent doesn't need to bring a television.

For what it's worth, my wife looked at the NHK World, but it's not exactly NHK. It's a variant--I didn't get what the difference is, but she wasn't surprised, saying the main NHK would charge money. Despite that, seems interesting with a wide variety of places, including, for example, Hiroshima local news, etc.

Maturin, thanks again.

No problem.
I picked it up at HN.
