Charlie Chat... Chat TONIGHT!

[Scott Greczkowski]

As you may know I started hosting Charlie Chat... Chat's a long time ago before there was even a DBSTalk.

I plan on keeping the tradition of the Charlie Chat... Chat's alive here at SatelliteGuys!

As you know on Monday Night there will be a special HDTV Edition of the Charlie Chat, the question is should we hold our own chat or should we wait until next month.

Setting up a chat here is NO problem! So it's up to you if we have a chat tommorow night or not.

Since the TV is in another room, I will have a hard time watching the Charlie Chat, and chatting here...

But I would be interested in chatting after the Charlie Chat.....hope others are too...

Thanks

Jeff

I'd have to kick my son off the laptop, but I'd be here!

 

[John Corn]

Jeff, I have the same problem you do, TV and computer aren't in the same room.

 

[Stargazer]

I keep my tv and computer in the same room because I watch tv while I am on the computer.

shame we can't stream the video of the chat on the same page as the chat window. then everyone can just open a web page and watch and chat at the same time. I wonder if it's technically feasable?

 

[Sean Mota]

Will be there unless I am called to work

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Airing of the chat is VERY technical feasable.

However to do so I would need permission from Dish Network as the show is copyrighted by them.

If I did do it I believe I would only air the audio and not the full video stream.

That would be good for those who don't have Dish.

Looks like we WILL hold a chat here tonight, I will post full details of how to access the chat later today!

Microsoft media encoder is a nice piece of software.... athough I am sure there might be other ways, I doubt there is something as simple and as cheap (free) to stream audio/video. Although I wonder how much bandwidth it takes to stream video to large amounts of people....

Sorry, going off topic a little. Chat sounds good tonight. I'll try to check it out here.

If I did audio of the chat I would use a MP3 based streaming format like Shoutcat, this format is listenable in almost any media player and it does not require a lot of bandwidth.

I also own a RealServer license which would enable me to stream live audio or video. Of course the downside of this is the Realplayer would be needed to view the streams and the Real player is a resource hog.

Scott,

How is the Chat on your site going to work? Is there a place to log on?

And are you going to carry the Charlie Chat audio/video?

Thanks

Jeff

To get into the chat tonight, use this link

There will be no audio and video of tonights chat, I am still working on getting permission from echostar to carry the audio.

You can try out the chat now if you want.

Hope to see you there tonight.

I'll try to be there.
