Surprised Really? Well, I never expected that....

Could you post their reply please? As...

a) For confirmation that this isn't a windup.
b) I want to see how they react to such a proposal.

time to start crying Crying or Very sad they said NO. So ive decided that im going to introduce it as a Internet Channel via streaming. I dont know if this has ever been done before, but i couldnt care as im trying it now. I think this is a good choice cause now the whole WORLD can view it (as long as they have broadband) which is cool as ill be reachinbg a wider audience. Very Happy luigi
That's an expensive way to do things. I have been there and done that, cost well over £1million in it's first month. The dual OC3 line was the problem, 155Mbit but it only allowed us to have 100 people watching the video at one time (went out to America where they seem to get uncapped 6Mbit/6Mbit cable Internet for as much as we pay for BB here in the UK). ugh!

ive done alot of thinking and im still going ahead with this project. i thought of a way to handle it, so it wont be a big problem. im gonig to upload the videos.... to a server, and thats where people watch it from. so i have alot of bandwidth there Smile i hope this will work. if anyone has ideas tell me. the channel will be called (at the moment) is called 'dot'

Surely you could get a channel on Sky, Game-Network has about 4 people, the channel is one of the worst on TV. But anyway.
