LiveStation to bring Live TV to your cell phone, soon
If you dream of being able to watch CSI: Miami or Survivor on your cell phone while you dash out to the store for some snacks, take heart: Livestation, a Web TV service created by Microsoft and a software company called Skinkers, might soon make it possible. Newsfactor.com reports.
"LiveStation, which would enable high-quality viewing of live television programs on a PC or other computing device, is being touted as an alternative to technologies like
Joost that enable PCs to show pre-recorded TV programs, but not live shows.
Unlike Joost, LiveStation is a peer-to-peer technology, which means that once the PC acquires programming, it can be shared with other devices like a set-top box or, at some point, a cell phone. "
