Internet TV – video stream question?
I own a restaurant w/ a large HD TV screen. Occasionally, there are ball games only available thru an internet video stream. We have a company that does our electronic stuff for us and I asked him recently to set us up to be “Internet TV capable.” I need your help w/ a question he asked me by email. See below. I understand the “interface part” but what does he mean by “let him know about streaming feeds.”
Quote: “The internet TV needs an internet interface using a device such as a computer that will pass the signal to the TV and speakers. I would look up what streaming feeds you want off the internet and let me know what they are and I will check on them.”
He has to know what kind of streaming signals he has to deal with.
So tell him where you are planning to stream the video from. For example, if you were watching the ball game on a computer, what URL or software do you use?
Of course, he could just put something together that would work with most video feeds, but he has no way of knowing if you are planning to throw some odd ball signals at it or use some web site that requires special software.
Also keep in mind that just because you can display the ball game in your restaurant, you may not have the legal right to do so.
