nasa tv, streaming audio video

nasa tv, streaming audio video

[Karl Dahlke]

Yes, concast has taken over my life,
for cable television, and internet service.
They rearranged my cable channels, and ditched the nasa channel completely.
It's gone!
I enjoy listening to nasa,
so after writing a nasty note to comcast,
I downloaded realplayer and trplayer, and I now tap into
the live feed from ksc.
If others do this as well,
it wiill comsume more comcast resources than if they'd offered the tv channel,
but I guess that's their problem.

Here is my question.
It seems a shame to constantly download the video and throw it away,
a waste of bandwidth,
so I tapped into the audio stream instead.
But when I type b, for bandwidth,
the audio is 36kbps,
while the video is 20kbps.
Anyone know why the video+audio is smaller than the audio alone?

Hi

If you go to the speakup site and click on the audio links you'll see
Nasa Television.  You'll need trplayer configured with lynx to listen to
the stream.
