Sorry, my bad - wrong port. It should be:

udp://233.6.205.96:2000

I hope it works better!

BR, Sami (via mobile)

Hi Sami,

I don't seem to be getting anything in Cambridge, MA.

Funet and AssemblyTV are piloting HD transmissions by multicasting the 18th Assembly event on udp://233.6.205.96:1234 (SAP: AssemblyTV HD). The broadcast is live from 5am Thursday 6th to 8am Sunday 9th EDT.

Assembly.org: "ASSEMBLY is a four day computer festival, in which thousands of people and their computers spend the long weekend by meeting friends, playing games, surfing on the net, talking on IRC and enjoying the great productions from the demoscene."

AssemblyTV broadcasts live coverage of the event, including many artistic competitions; see schedule (showtimes UTC+3, ie. 7 hours ahead of EDT):

http://www.assemblytv.net/schedules?lang=en

Like the arrangements for the whole event, the television coverage is also mainly made by volunteers and students.

More on Funet-Antenna (IPTV for Finnish Academia):

The broadcast is partly in English and partly in Finnish. Some live content is filmed in SD.

I would be happy to hear any comments on the stream - availability and quality.

Cheers,

Sami
