Streaming the Inauguration In a School?

Posted by timothy on from the coronation-will-be-televised dept.

Anonymous Teacher writes "I work in a small school in Washington and we are trying to prepare a way to watch the inauguration in 20 classrooms over a 1.5 T1. As our bandwidth severely limits the ability to individually stream to these rooms, is there an alternative to presenting it to the students? Are there any sites that offer a downloadable copy of the video quickly after the event that can be hosted locally or is reconfiguring the computers to use a proxy server the best solution?"

  1. VLC? by Tyris · · Score: 5, Informative

    Could be wrong, but can't VLC (VideoLanClient) do the trick?
    Get it to recieve one copy of the stream, and then repeat it over the local network (assuming your local network has the bandwidth).
