When we used polycom, we would send someone with the unit to help set-up. Now, someone on their end just sends the signal into their router.
I now have a slingbox, and I am checking out that technology. It may be the cheapest way to send video signals. Right now, with slingbox, I can go anywhere wiith a wi-fi connection and control any media device that I have plugged into it.
Our church webcasts to a few churches every Wed & Sun. We are blessed to be in a tech city. You can literally take a stroll to our beautiful river downtown with your laptop and go online! We have free wi-fi in Fredericton, pretty cool....eh? (threw in the eh)
Dude, never thought of the slingbox...so, would a church have to broadcast through a TV station in order to get an internet broadcast? Would it work without having to take server space? This is a great idea if it would work

No, it's not webcasted. Our church receives it simulcasted... we're the only one that I'm aware of. See below... and subsequent posts.

We used to use our Polycom system, by sending POA one of our units and then hooking up 6 ISDN lines at each church but that got EXPENSIVE. We now use dedicated lines free from online clutter and bring their video feed into ours.
They do have 1 extra audio split, I am not sure where they are sending it.
Last year they also sent 2 extra video feeds but those precious folk who received it are now deceased.
This was set up by our Associate Pastor, who got the info from me, after I worked as a sound engineer for The Ocean & Fisheries agency for Canada, Finland, and Ireland.
The guy who runs this all is our very own soundguy....a PRO!!!! And a missionary's son

Question is this normal in some places for pastors to preach their own meetings? The last time I saw that was at Fort Worth when MK was having meetings with KP?
Bro. Mangun's message is always the 'keynote' address for the Conference. Not unusual at all for a meeting.
It sets the pace for the rest of the services.
