What kind of internet TV Channels can you make with Broadcast Machine?

1. Publish Your Own Content

Broadcast Machine lets you post your own videos or other files with the easiest torrent posting around. Peer-to-peer distribution eliminates bandwidth costs. Optional server-sharing lets you always have a fast seeder available. The RSS channels that Broadcast Machine creates are the perfect way for users to stay continuously connected to your content, even if you only add new work occasionally. DTV makes it simple for your fans to get your stuff and know right away when you publish something new. It's a good way to build a fanbase.

2. Create Channels of Content from Around the Web

Use Broadcast Machine to pull together your favorite videos from anywhere you find them. Just like blogging websites, Broadcast Machine lets you link to any video or file that is available on the web. Enter the URL of a file, add metadata, and publish to your channels. This also means that you could use archive.org or Ourmedia or vimeo to host your videos and then use Broadcast Machine to put together an internet TV channel. In fact, there's now an even easier way to make a channel of links using del.icio.us: here's the details.

3. Run a Community Site

Want to get everyone involved? Broadcast Machine has a simple user management system that lets you accept submissions of videos and video links from visitors to your site (you can require them to register first, if you choose to). This means you can create a channel for a community: let anyone post to an "open" channel and then pick the best stuff to include in more selective channels-- "Featured Videos", perhaps. Perfect for communities and organizations of every kind.
