Get Your Broadcast TV Anywhere

circletimessquare writes "Ken Schaffer, who made his name inventing a wireless microphone and a satellite telephone service, has a new offering called TV2Me. It's basically MPEG-4, improved upon, that allows for what he calls 'best of class' streaming video over a normal broadband connection. Right now, his only clients are rich sports fanatics, but he eventually wants to make his technology as ubiquitous and as essential as TiVo is to some."

  1. It isn't a matter of getting TV.. by ackthpt · · Score: 4, Interesting
    It's a matter of TV carrying what you want to watch. I want to watch TV (sports in particular) from other countries, but thanks to NTSC/PAL and a lack of willingness by fatcats at cable companies (who believe that's not what the public wants: Self full-filling prophecy) it's not on the menu or ever likely to be.

    Then there's still the sticky matter of not being allowed to watch a network station from outside the area your local affiliate owns.
