I remember there was a time when educated people quite seriously discussed, not to supplant television theater and replace it with time to book. Today, these discussions seem a bit naive, but to say that the TV in the lives of people playing the same role as thirty years ago – you can not. It has changed and no longer means as much as before. The credibility of the television as a source of information is lost.
goal of most “affordable” television channels – to impose their point of view, to present news events in a certain perspective, the benefit of this or that political force. Television has long lost the respect of the thinking of the population, which is less and less looking “zomboyaschik”, preferring the digital TV – thematic television channels broadcast by satellite or cable networks. In the air there is no alternative TV clock policies, terrorist attacks, the endless “cops” and “brigades” stupid talk shows and soap operas. Instead, the viewer offers sports programs, educational programs, documentaries about scientific discoveries, stories about life in different corners of the planet and so on. The percentage of “waste” is very low, and the viewer has the opportunity to choose what he wants to see.
Unlike channels and regional public broadcasters, which by default includes cable operators in the “standard” and “minimum” packages, all interesting like “24 Techno», Discovery or Nat Geo Wild hidden from the users of digital TV for more high tariffs. Do you want to see is not what you impose, – pay.
The fact that these channels are more expensive, there is nothing wrong. All work must be paid, including the work of employees television channel, which, in theory, should go royalties. It would seem simple – buy and enjoy a quality product. But in practice, not everything is as it should be. We used to buy the software and pay for mobile services. But television – is the product of a very different kind. Where is the gauge by which we can estimate the consumption of television?
He who works hard and is learning time watching TV just does not stay. And if such a person acquires a month TV ether, in practice it turns out watch TV for a few hours or a few days. It certainly keeps many from acquiring additional channels.
In addition, cable operators are used to “push” packages of TV channels. But what is the point person to buy the whole package, if the hundreds of channels offered it only looks at two sports? Logic dictates that the opportunity to view one channel would have to pay less. In general, this is a very controversial issue, something that is sure to be resolved in the future. In the meantime … while you can, without suffering any pangs of conscience, to look for alternative ways to view an interesting television. Especially as this is possible.
Currently relevant three main ways to view TV on the Internet: streaming with low bit rate, IPTV and torrent TV.
? # Streaming broadcast with a low bit rate
Some TV channels can be watched online. As a rule, this opportunity provides TV companies that are present in the above “standard” package of digital TV. There are many programs that combine for a total shell tens of free broadcast channels (Super Internet TV, Online TV Player, etc.). Unfortunately, the picture and sound quality with this broadcast is very mediocre, so the real alternative to digital television streaming can not reach.
? # IPTV: all the channels in the “figure»
Internet service providers and cable operators – often one and the same company. The IPTV technology depending on the possibilities offered by the network provider and may be implemented using various protocols. For example, for video broadcasting can be employed RTP, UDP, HTTP, RTSP, and other protocols.
IPTV technology allows us not only to achieve good image quality, but also to realize a lot of additional features for the viewer. For example, a service provider can provide a “video on demand”, the ability to obtain the information menu with the TV program, the time shift transmission and so on. The picture quality when using this technology can be very high (depending on the speed of transmission stream), supported by high-definition video and multi-channel sound.
? # How and what to watch IPTV
Applications for IPTV, there are not so many. Most of them are built on the engine, the popular media player VLC.
To view IPTV-channels will need a play list with TV channels provided by your ISP, or (if you at night will not torment of remorse) alternative channel list from another provider, found on the Web.
If
ready to open the playlist in a text editor such as “Notepad”, you can see the link that looks like this – http://XXX.XXX.XXX:1212/udp/YYY.YYY.YYY:1234 or udp: / / @ XXX.XXX.XXX: 1234. If you know the address of the server broadcast, you can select a team player VLC “Media ? Open URL», insert in the box one of these links, then click “Play.” Of course, you can also just open the file from the playlist.
Some ISPs do provide IPTV-modified client with the ability to automatically download a list of channels and network configuration.
To view the channels you can also use the utility to IP-TV Player. This is – one of the shells for the same mediaprogryvatelya VideoLAN VLC.
? # What if IPTV «slow»
Extracted web lists IPTV-channels are not always convenient for viewing. Very often when watching TV shows can be seen decaying into squares image that is punctuated with color artifacts. Usually this can be observed in networks where translation occurs on UDP-protocol. Remember the anecdote, “I know a great joke about UDP, but I’m afraid it will not come to you»?
problem that broadcast on UDP-protocol involves transport model, which does not guarantee delivery of packets to the recipient. As a result – a digital stream to the television signal can contain heavy losses, causing a failure to accept the TV. A little fix “brake” when you play, you can use caching settings. By adding the channel in media player VLC, for “Network” tab, select “Show advanced options” and increase the cache size.
also worth bearing in mind that for comfortable viewing of IPTV (in particular channel broadcast in HD-as) a suitable network with a high speed data transmission (at least several megabits).
? # macChange: I cloud, cloud, cloud, I’m not a bear …
Another useful tool that can be useful to those who experiment with IPTV, – a small utility to change the MAC-address. Some providers offer their services with reference to the unique identifier of the network adapter. For various reasons, it may be necessary to connect a network without a router to another PC. In this case, you can use the macChange quickly change the MAC-address, specifying the setting. Enough to choose from the list the desired network adapter, and write the new value of MAC-addresses.
? # Torrent-TV: watch and share
technology communication via Bittorrent protocol familiar to many. However, not everyone knows that the p2p-network technology has continued.
If you pay attention to the statistics of downloading large files, you probably might have noticed something about myself high speed data transmission. Such a comfortable speed information exchange made possible by the distributed structure of the torrent network where there is no central node. The more people involved in the process of downloading and distributing the torrent, the higher and more stable download speed of each of the participants. The same principle can be used not only for downloading applications and movies from torrent trackers. The same users do not interfere exchange packets, maintaining a stable broadcast channel. This is what underlies the torrent television.
