How can I play Live TV on my web site?

First, you would need to install a TV card in your computer. There are many TV cards both PCI and USB2 that would work great for live TV. Here are some brands: Hauppauge WinTV Go, WinTV-PVR 150, ATI TV Wonder 200, PinnacleSystems PCTV, etc. Once the TV card is installed and your Cable tv or antenna is connected, download and install uViewIt Software from here.

At this point your are ready to watch your own Live TV from anywhere, change channels, and embed your TV in your own web site. Be sure to log on to your Control Panel and configure your TV viewing settings. Remember that your computer with your TV card must be "always on" and have an Internet connection. To play your TV in your web page, see the FAQs below for instructions.

Can I play multiple video streams...Windows Media Player only lets me play 1 at a time... ?

Yes, you can play multiple video/audio streams at the same time. Here's how:
Many versions of Windows still contain the Classic Windows Media Player 6.4. To open this player, click Start -> Run, then type "mplayer2.exe" (without quotes), and hit Enter. If you see Windows Media Player start, then you have the 6.4 version. If not, you can download it here.
Then, on the WMP 6.4 menu select View -> Options. Then select the Player tab and choose "Open a new player for each media file played" then click OK.

Now to Play Multiple Streams:
Click on the video stream link you want to watch (your newer WMP player should start playing it). While the video is playing in this player, right click on it and select Properties. Now highlight the URL next to Location: , then Copy it (Ctrl-C), open WMP 6.4, if it's not already open, hit Ctrl-O and Paste (Ctrl-V) the URL into the Open dialog box and click OK.
Your video stream should now start playing. When you first play the video WMP 6.4 may need to download and install a codec. You can now close the other WMP. Repeat these steps for each video stream you want to watch.

Will my videos play back on my iPod?

Yes, you can download the 3ivx codecs that uViewIt uses to record in iPod format from: www.3ivx.com
I think there is a small cost for these codecs, but it is worth it if you want to play on QuickTime/iPod, Oh, and I also noticed the 3ivx videos play perfect on YouTube where all the other codecs I tried had problems.
