Not yet, but in a months time, well have the European football/soccer Championship. Great, I really love it!! In this part of Spain though, the people do not tend to watch a lot. The Catalans don´t feel Spanish and don’t get in the mood as the rest of Europe. The Dutch go crazy, everything turns in to orange, the national color.
Now, the really interesting part is that in the office, I’m asked to set up a system, so most employees can watch the games. The rules are: Nothing Illegal and No (Bandwidth) problems on the network.
2 Years ago, with the World Cup, we built a streaming media server, with the help of the windows media encoder, and had a workstation per desk that connected and played the stream. Our office then was smaller, and therefore we had less interference with in and outgoing traffic.
Now my first Idea was to have the lab set-up with a streaming media server, and a digital DVB Receiver. Then patch about 5 desks per floor (3 floors) to the lab network. I will still have to see if that is possible, but please, if you have any Ideas…..?
