Nick,

 

This isn’t on topic exactly, but:  I’ve heard that another Big Ten school, which shall remain nameless, is feeding campus TV channels to video-over-IP.  You can connect from anywhere in the world and watch the channels you could get on campus – including Big Ten Network and locally originated channels.  Any thoughts of providing the MSU campus community with such a service?

NAG List,

 

   This isn’t really a data-networking thing, but I’ll ping the list anyway (since we are all techie’s anyway).   We are in the process of upgrading the campus cable television system, and are currently broadcasting 6 Digital Channels on the campus television network.  We have the Big Ten Network and WKAR in HD, and a few SD channels for people to test the quality, and ease of use of.  

 

   We are broadcasting these channels in a technology called ClearQAM, which is the industry standard for non-encrypted television service.  Many newer televisions have ClearQAM tuners built-in.   Instructions and a survey are located at:

  We would appreciate your help and opinions in testing this service!
