Aren’t cable companies required by law to offer school’s free service?

We unfortunately lost most of our cable channels when they went digital earlier 
this year.

CNN is carrying it.  That is how we are recommending it be viewed here.

As far as Windows Media Services goes, if it’s a major thing going on live, 
it’s usually on television as well.  We’ve hooked a VCR up to an encoder box 
and “streamed” television channels to the classrooms before.

What do you use, if anything, to host/proxy an external video stream internally 
so that bandwidth isn't saturated when every classroom tries to watch it at the 
same time?

I know Windows Media Services can do this, but it doesn't work for flash/mp4 
streams.

Ideas?
