P2P with Skinkers and LiveStation

I just don’t get why Peer-to-Peer is a great way of distributing TV-like
content. It’s just like having your windows open with no screens during
the summer. Sure you get that cool breeze of fast downloaded video, but
you let all those bloodsucking mosquitoes in. Akamai and Limelight get
paid for hosting files. Is what you download worth providing other
people with free hosting, your internet ‘pipe’ and the wear and tear on
your computer?

“NASCAR in Primetime”, HD and 5.1

In "Gentlemen,
set your TiVos", Frank
Capria blogs about the ABC News limited Series "NASCAR
in Primetime." What he doesn’t say is that the series was shot in HD
(much on HDV) and was mixed in surround sound. You get a chance to
compare the quality of "studio" cameras with DVCPro100 and HDV all in
one place. Catch the last two episodes tonight at 10P E/P and next
Wednesday at either 9 or 10 P (ABC has been moving it around.)
