问答题 TVU networks提供了使您可以通过宽带互联网在电脑上观赏免费的全球直播电视服务。我们带给您全新的、一般在您本地的有线电视或卫星电视看不到的电视节目,比如世界各地的新闻和体育等节目。
使用我们的服务需要下载安装一个免费的windows环境下运行的网络电视播放软件。TVU电视服务的收视软件TVU Player下载量至今已超过2500万次,观众分布在200多个国家地区。
TVU networks运用了新的实时数据包复制的高端广播技术。该技术使观看者在观赏节目的同时也协助发送高质量的数据信号给其他观赏同一频道的观众。由于TVU软件播放的是实时电视节目,所以不会在您电脑硬盘上保存任何文件。
跟一般使用旧的流媒体技术的网络视频播放不同,使用TVU软件的广播者不需要很高的带宽来分配给每一位观看者。这使得广播者以最低的成本来达到最大数量的观众。TVU软件能承载无限量的播放频道数量,这给不能在有线电视或卫星电视上播放的频道广播者提供了机会。原本仅限当地区域的播放成了全球播放;新频道也有了播放的渠道;原本没有足够播放设施的广播商有了增加开播新频道的平台资源。
最令人兴奋的是每个观看者都可以通过使用我们的免费广播软件成为自主的广播者。使用我们的免费广播软件、普通个人电脑和宽带网络就可以使每个人成为一个频道的广播者。使用这些简易基本的资源设施就可以让全世界的观众都观看到您所广播的频道。

【正确答案】TVU networks offers a free global live TV service that you can watch on your Windows PC over a broadband Internet connection. This service is dedicated to bringing you TV that you can't get from cable or satellite, such as news and sports from around the world.
The TVU service is accessed with a free downloadable Windows application--the TVU Player. The TVU service, accessed via its free TVU Player application, has been downloaded 25 million times by viewers in over 200 countries.
TVU uses a new broadcast technology called Real-Time Packet Replication. With this technology, all the viewers who are watching a channel at the same time are cooperating to give everyone the best possible signal. TVU's application does not create any new files on your hard disk because you're watching live TV.
Unlike typical Internet video broadcasts that use the older streaming technology, TVU's broadcasters do not need to dedicate more bandwidth for each additional user. This allows broadcasters to reach very large numbers of viewers at low cost. Because TVU can have an unlimited number of channels, TVU offers broadcasters opportunities denied to them by cable and satellite systems. Local broadcasters become global broadcasters; new channels can find a broadcast slot; and bigger broadcasters can create new channels to showcase content that they own but don't have space to broadcast on their existing channels.
Most exciting of all, viewers can become broadcasters by using TVU networks' free Broadcast application. This application, combined with a standard-grade PC and a typical broadband Internet connection, allows anybody to become a broadcaster. This basic set-up allows any number of viewers world-wide to watch your channel.
