Virgin Media have signed a fifty event deal with M3U.com for secure satellite
link to provide near live content including interviews, commentary, and fans’
views.
M3U.com encode and transmit the content over their symmetrical 1024Kbps
secure connection from Virgin Media’s new mobile TV studio to Virgin Media’s own
internal network. Users can then visit Virgin Media’s sports portal (www.virginmedia.com/sport)
on Saturdays to watch the content, although it is archived on the site so it can
be streamed for viewing at anytime.
"M3U.com impressed us with their track record of securing satellite
uplinks in complex broadcast environments and their 100 percent record
of no ‘dead air’ during live broadcasts"
"Sport is all about the fans and the Internet is the perfect medium for
bringing the beautiful game to life. But no matter what the sport, fans
will find www.virginmedia.com/sport the best place to get their daily
dose of what's going on." |
