Footie in the office
 

What a great gadget the Nebula DigiTV is! I set it up on my computer with
the multicast server option and everyone in the office was able to watch
this afternoon's England game from the comfort of their own PC.

You've a working multicast implementation in your office? Do tell...

I imagine unicasting a 4Mbps video around the place would soon lead to a
unicast system crawling!

I was running a training course in a hotel in London during the last
World Cup and had 6 delegates on the course. The training was due to
start at 9.30 and there was an early morning England match due to finish
about the same time, so I brought along a USB-TV adaptor for my notebook
PC and projected the last half of the game. Not really being a footie
fan I was off doing other admin-type things and when I came back to my
room I had about 40 extra people from other training sessions watching!

I assume you have a TV licence for the office :)

And do you need rebroadcast rights?

Would you be okay with your home TV license so long as you were
operating off battery?
