Internet TV is Open and Independent

DTV is a new, free and open-source platform for internet television and video. An intuitive interface lets users subscribe to channels, watch video, and build a video library. Our publishing software lets you broadcast full-screen video to thousands of people at virtually no cost. The project is non-profit, free and open source, and built on open standards. A Windows version of DTV and a full website are well underway and will arrive in the next several weeks.

The Channel Guide is Open

Along with the Mac Beta we've launched the built-in DTV Channel Guide, which already features more than 100 internet TV channels (all free), with more being added every day. Publishers of DTV-compatible channels can now submit channels to be included in the guide. If you have an RSS feed with video enclosures, your channel is already compatible (see our ideal RSS format). This beta version of DTV embeds QuickTime 7, so any video that plays in QuickTime will play in DTV. DTV suppports standard HTTP downloads as well as BitTorrent downloads. Submit your channel today!

Create a Channel

Now's the moment to make that internet TV channel you've been dreaming of. And you don't need to be a videomaker to have a great channel-- just as sites like Boing Boing and Slashdot bring together news and links from around the web, we expect that some of the most interesting and popular internet TV channels will link to video from all over the place. Broadcast Machine makes it easy to create your own channel by pulling together videos you find around the internet-- funny videos, news clips, movie trailers, or anything else. Internet TV needs some good editors, why not you? Try Broadcast Machine or make a channel of video links using del.icio.us.

The Mac version is out but Windows and Linux versions are on their way. According to the website: "DTV is currently only available for Mac OS X. Linux version is coming soon." which is good news for the Linux users out there.

It shouldn't be hard at all either...

I just started getting Rocketboom on my TiVo. It's like a short TV show, only it is sent to my TiVo over the Internet, rather than broadcast over TV or cable or satellite.

This is going to get big; this is like RSS and podcasts combined with video. We're starting to see video iPods and TiVo2go makes it easier to movie video from TV to mobile devices like iPods. This will soon be standard with other DVRs as well. And of course on PCs.

Computer, Internet, TV: pretty soon we won't know where one ends and the others begin. Anyone can and will create their own "network". The Old Media won't know what hit 'em.

If anybody wants to see a great independent film production perfect for broadcast on cable access TV, which is very educational on the Jewish problem, here it is. Dr Hesham Tillawi is an Arab American and he has great interview programs. Check them out.

Oh and take a look at who he's interviewing.
