August 31, 2007
LiveStation is expected to make some announcement next week at IBC 2007.
LiveStation has been in private beta for the past few months. So far only one channel is present in the current beta release (Version 1.00.62).
I was curious about some news reporting that LiveStation was about to open it’s beta to a wider audience in October 2007. So I asked the nice team at LiveStation about it.
The answer I got was the following:
- we’re working towards the major dates in the calendar
- our next major date is IBC in September
- we’re adding multiple channels at this time
- we’re aiming for an open beta as soon as we can with more than one channel
The IBC exhibition showcases all the latest technology and foremost business ideas in broadcasting and media. The exhibition is internationally renowned for being run by the industry for the industry and offers unparalleled expertise and opportunities in the fields of content creation, management and delivery.
LiveStation is the next generation of peer-to-peer technology co-developed by Skinkers and Microsoft Research to address the market demand for a secure, robust and scalable solution to the growing problem of offering live TV over the Internet to large numbers of viewers in a cost-effective and viable way.
LiveStation offer great video quality at very low bit rate (like Joost). What differentiate LiveStation from Joost it the fact that it offer streaming “Live” TV… Joost currently offer streaming of “Pre Recorded” content.
Joost is apparently working on offering streaming of “Live” TV as well, but it remain to be seen.
Also worth noting is that LiveStation is currently a Windows Only application, where Joost is both Windows and Mac.
