That will lead to a bandwidth choice page.
The High Bandwidth page will be streaming at about 600K total and I would recommend cable broadband customers only for this page.
The Low Bandwidth choice will be at about 220K total and a solid DSL connection should work well although the quality of picture and sound will be inferior to the High Bandwidth stream.
If our viewers would like to test their bandwidth, they can do so at www.speedtest.net and click on the rotating star to get a reading. Any reading above 1.5 Mbps Download should be good for High Bandwidth. A lower reading will necessitate going to the Low Bandwidth page.
If there is an interruption in audio (the lowest priority for streaming video programmers..of course) it should easily be restored by simply clicking on the internet browsers refresh button (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome). If the problem is chronic and theyre on the High Bandwidth page, switch to the Low Bandwidth page.
Started trying to log in at 2:45 PAC time and got only a black screen. Guess I must have missed it. Oh well. I tried but work held me over today. Maybe next time.
You missed it by about 15 minutes. I missed the first half myself but what I saw was really enjoyable and I'll be watching for the next one. I caught the band playing What'd I Say, Big John Is My Name, Tobacco Road and the first few bars of the excellent Every Now and Then we Get To Go On Down to Miami.
WOW "Every Now And Then We Get To Go On Down To Miami" Last time I saw Pete and RE play this song live was on 12/11/72 at Philharmonic Hall in NY City's Lincoln Center.
I was trying to watch from my wife's office and I suppose the other folks there were trying to work - wah. I saw a couple tunes and tried to listen at a low level - not what I was hoping for though. The sound was good, I was just trying to be courteous to the other folks. Personally I felt watching the stream was good karma. So sorry I missed viewing "Every Now And Then..." Peter, thank you for the web-troduction (introduction done on the web) and the nice complements. I'll see you soon.
Terry, intersting idea about archiving the stream shows.
Jocko, to echo UK Dave, welcome back to the forum Man!!! We did indeed miss your posts the last few months. I bet that '72 Rare Earth show was too cool.
In addition to other types of data technology, my company also streams live events but as we are streaming live we are also creating and uploading a copy which can be viewed at anytime after the live event has actually started, i.e., if you get online 15 minutes late you can still see the whole event from start to finish. It will just be recorded instead of live. Of course archiving recorded events does cost extra per Gb of storage where with live there is no storage and only the bandwidth used is billable plus whatever custom add-ons the client wants. But it is a nice feature. Some clients want it ......some don't.
