Do many geeks here watch NASA TV? How is your performance of the stream? I have watched with varying degrees of success for many years. At work and at home, I can stream the standard NASA TV steam pretty well, it's acceptable quality However at home now I really want a better quality stream to watch on TV.
This helpful comment on Slashdot links to several versions of the stream. The 1200k/s stream looks fantastic, but I can only stream a few seconds before it will stop. I tried late last night at home, Waitakere City Auckland, still with no success. (No other machines using the WiFi, torrents stopped etc of course). I am using VLC on MacBook running 10.6.2. BigTime is my plan.
The stream is Yahoo/Akamai, does anyone know much about these? Is it possible to connect to a local Amakai server directly?
The NASA TV page does not link through to the Yahoo streams, I can't find a directory of Yahoo NASA streams. Also I read that the Yahoo streams may be delayed 1 or 2 minutes, this is fine with me, I would prefer a better quality of stream with a delay.
In North Americal it's available un-encrypted on Echostar 7 so I don't watch the streams. It's only 480i (not HD) but still better than streams I think.
