You should try jetcast.com. It's live grid broadcasting at its best. It's simple and there are a lot of channels and they are all free. They add new ones every day. It's free for the broadcasters too. I guess that is why they are getting so many channels up. Try the Fight TV channel or StreetRacers channel.

Don, you must be confusing ReelTime.com in the U.S.A. with reeltime.tv from Australia. Reeltime.com is the exact same thing as GridNetworks, using the same player and delivery system.

I couldn't agree more, DON. I tried and Reeltime and Gridnetworks is the best in the market place so far.

Don, I think you dont fully appreciate the distinction between asynchronus and synchronus content. Gridnetworks is basically a form of filesharing using p2p. It wont be able to do real-time broadcasts. The other 2 are able to do so.

What are you talking about I just tried viviTv.coma dn tvkoo.com and Reeltime and Gridnetwork's player blows those two out of the water.

You wrote "Peer-to-peer is cheap but open to copyright abuse". Yes and no and yes. P2P "file sharing" is open to copyright abuse. However P2P "streaming" (used by TVkoo and Gridfold) need not threaten any copyright holder. Our policy at gridfold.com is to allow only content-owners to use our service. No pirates. No thieves. Besides the content buffers on the user's machine for two minutes and then disappears into the ether. Full files are never downloaded.

As to the cheap part, P2P streaming is super cheap. So cheap that even obscure "left field" programming can be broadcast cost-effectively on the web.

The Venice Project will have a great deal of licensed content, rather than consumer generated stuff.

i think viviTV.com and tvkoo.com are much more impressive than other p2p solution, try the difference.
