Figured one of you must have a recommendation. A cousin of mine is getting married this fall in New England. Unfortunately her mother was just paralyzed from the neck down and will miss the wedding (only daughter). I was asked to explore the possibility of streaming the wedding to the hospital (its across the country). I was thinking of either using SKYPE or setting up a temporary website to stream the video on. Has anyone here used Skype? If not, can anyone make a recommendation for a web provider that wouldn’t be a PIA to work with? I have the hardware already (laptops etc).

I’m footing the bill for this so I am trying to keep costs down. I know I could host it on TA’s phone but his battery is getting a little run down right now.

Thanks,
ROTT

I have not used Skype for such a task.
using VLC/Videolan might be easier.

Make sure there is a recording as well as or in place of a stream.

Don't worry about TA's cell phone battery. Just order a new one for him with his credit card.

Well, I'm going to give SlingBox a try. I may be able to use an old ReplayTv DVR I have to allow my Aunt to pause the broadcast if she gets tired. Big test is next week.
