RE: [backstage] MHEG-5 Wimbledon on Freesat?
what I don't understand is why someone is saying they can't watch wimbledon on the BBC since I could watch it both on TV and live streamed on the bbc website yesterday From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Christopher Woods Sent: Tue 01/07/2008 6:35 PM To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: RE: [backstage] MHEG-5 Wimbledon on Freesat? The BBC is legal, Zattoo isn't? Of course, this debate depends on how you interpret your definition of illegal broadcast! Zattoo is, they argue, merely rebroadcasting the channels in territories that can already receive them via other platforms (cable, DTV etc). This they argue is entirely legal. If people are up in arms about it, I find it puzzling that (unless I'm mistaken or I missed something) no broadcaster has come forward as of yet, to declare that they do not wish for their channels to be rebroadcast on the Zattoo platform. I'm personally in favour of Zattoo continuing, it's very handy as a fallback if the atmospherics aren't in my favour so my DTV signal breaks up (yeah, it's THAT bad sometimes!) winmail.dat

Re: [backstage] BBC begins DVB-T2 test transmissions in preparation for HD on Freeview
I just asked Hauppauge if any of their exiting kit would work with DVB-T2, and they said I'm afraid that we do not have any product that would support DVB-T2, at the same time there's no plan of releasing one, at least until 2009. Looks like a very closed trial to me! 2008/6/27 Steve Jolly [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Gareth Davis wrote: I'm sure someone down at KW will know chapter and verse on this, but AFAIK there are no IDTVs currently on the market that will be compatible with the test transmissions. Correct. There are no receivers currently available that are compatible with DVB-T2, be they STBs, IDTVs or DVB-T cards for PCs. If you want to receive HD on a PC, your best bet is to get a DVB-S compatible card and watch the BBC HD channel via satellite. :-) S - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

[backstage] Election Observers verdict on London Elections e-counting
The Open Rights Group's report into e-counting of votes cast in the London Elections is out today. http://www.openrightsgroup.org/2008/07/02/org-verdict-on-london-elections-insufficient-evidence-to-declare-confidence-in-results/ The report finds that: there is insufficient evidence available to allow independent observers to state reliably whether the results declared in the May 2008 elections for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly are an accurate representation of voters' intentions. Votes for London Mayor and the 25 member London Assembly were counted electronically, and overall the election was well-managed by the independent body set up to run elections in London, London Elects. However, transparency around the recording of valid votes was a major issue, leading many of our team of 27 official observers to conclude that they were unable to observe votes being counted. And while hundreds of screens set up by vote scanners showed almost meaningless data to observers, London Elects admit that the system was likely to be recording blank ballots as valid votes. The report also details how London Elects are unable to publish an audit, commissioned from KPMG, of some of the software used to count the London vote, because of disputes over commercial confidentiality. The situation highlights the problems that arise when the very public function of running elections is mixed with issues of commercial confidentiality and proprietary software. In the context of a public election, it is unacceptable that these issues should preclude the publication of the KPMG audit. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

[backstage] Conference calls
Good day to you lovely people =), Bit of topic I do apologise, but might be able to point me in the right direction. Conference calls, we all love to hate them. We're a small business and sometimes find ourselves getting asked if we can set-up a conference call. We don't get asked often enough to warrant paying for a monthly subscription, so has to be something on the fly. conferencegenie.co.uk looks good, but you can't password protect a room, which is a bit of an issue in my opinion. If you picked the same room number as someone else, you would get very confused! Any suggestions or ideas?

For private rooms, it says it's £10+VAT one-off, not per month. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
