What Makes GBTV Fundamentally Different? How About Cutting-Edge Technology

Glenn Beck’s trademark chalkboard will bring familiarity to GBTV but it is one of many things that also may have a high-tech twist on the show, which launches today at 5 p.m.
In partnership with Major League Baseball, which is known for its live streaming technology, GBTV is working with innovative and proven technology to deliver the best experience to its users, Vice President of Technology Greg Waugh said.
“MLB has always been pushing the envelope of what’s cutting-edge,” Waugh said. “They have a reputation in the industry as consistently being at the forefront.”
“We are producing content at a level that is superior to our delivery system, although eventually that will catch up. What sets us apart is that we’ve built this entire network like a TV station. This is not just a radio station with a video camera.”
But just what’s different?
Start with the fact that users will be able to catch GBTV — a 24-hour-a-day streaming station running original content — live anywhere there is an Internet connection. That means despite it being “online,“ you can watch it in more ”traditional” ways like on your television through devices such as Roku.
Roku simulates a traditional TV experience but provides “channels” through a connection with the Internet. Some channels are free whereas others, such as GBTV, are subscription only.

Have Roku and need to set it up? Watch this:
GBTV will also available outside of the family room. A GBTV app provides full access for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. Waugh said GBTV could be available on other platforms someday as well.
You can get the GBTV app on the Apple App Store.
The tech world has been brewing over the concept of a la carte programming for a few years now. In fact, an article in Tech News Daily in December 2010, predicts, as Beck has noted, that the shift has already begun with the 18-34 demographic:
Jim Louderback of online video service Revision3 stated that the future of digital entertainment will depend on the decisions made by today’s 18-to 34-year-olds. He predicted that the days of paying $100 or more per month for a satellite or cable subscription are coming to an end because many in this key demographic are“cutting the cord” — seeking free or low-cost ways to access the same programming at their convenience.
Louderback noted that the 18-34 demographic is accustomed to having everything in their lives conform to “the Burger King experience” — having what they want, how they want it, and when they want it.
. . .
Furthermore, this group isn’t obsessed with having the biggest big-screen TV, he added. Instead, they want to do their viewing on the best screen available at the time, no matter where they are.
Bad experiences with streaming lengthy content through the Internet have been rampant before. But no matter your Internet speed — slow or fast — GBTV’s technology makes the most of your bandwidth. NexDef, a downloadable software developed by MLB, helps maximize your Internet speed for the best streaming possible. This means avoiding the whole pause-load-play experience you’ve dealt with in the past.
NexDef helps you making the most of your bandwidth and avoid "loading".
“If you‘re in the desert with one bar and you’re watching GBTV, the technology will know to only play the audio,” Waugh explained. “The technology is designed to give you the best experience in every possible situation, whether you’re on your iPhone with one bar or watching on your big screen TV with Roku.”
Currently, you can sign up for a free 14-day membership or one of two subscription options that will allow you to take part in the GBTV experience.
And just in case you’re wondering, Beck isn’t the only one moving to GBTV — his chalkboard is also making the jump. But it might look a little different, as it got a little upgrade and appears to be a three-sided. Now the question is: Will it rotate on air tonight?

Posted on September 12, 2011 at 10:47pmThe first episode was nice….I liked it….well worth the money, but if i could make a suggestion….when you have the screen go to two camera angles at once (screen split diagonal) Please don’t have both cameras on Glenn…We don’t need two angles of Glenn talking….lol…love you Glenn but one angle is enough……I did find that kind of annoying, and it happened way too frequently…even when it was two camera shots of two different things…..there are times when that is a nice feature…like if something was said that would cause interest in the audience reactions…

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 3:16pmI have a Mac mini hooked to my big screen, so I just use the webcast, but I get plenty of band width, 20+ megabit. I now people with poorer service will have difficulty. Netflix works pretty well with 1.5, but that is a minimum.
I didn’t try to watch on the iPad since I was at home. But I did tune in with my iPhone, and it seemed to work OK, but again that was WiFi.
I found Glenn’s funny man answer to the liberal comedians very disappointing, and hope that he realizes that Brian Sack is not a plus feature. His crude reference at the end of the show belies Glenn’s persona. Hope he listens to the viewers, because his crude jokes may appeal to libertarians, they won‘t appeal to Glenn’s base.

Posted on September 12, 2011 at 7:12pmWelcome back Glenn and the show seems to be worth every penny of the subscription price. I urge everyone to watch this show, because like his previous home on Fox, his new home on GBTV allows him to tell the total and unvarnished truth. Hearing someone in the media actually refer to Obama as the Marxist he is, was highly refreshing and long overdue. I did have two minor blips during the show that I assumed were buffering issues, but based on other comments, I believe it was actually a few small bugs with the transmission of the show, but I’m sure those will be worked out shortly.
It was a slight pain to have to hook the computer up to the tv in the den, but I plan to obtain a Roku and eliminate that.

As far as the GBTV app not available for Android yet. Not sure why, it is a popular ecosystem, but there are more iOS devices in the wild then Android, so it make sense to focus on where the most users will be. There will be an Android app soon will be my guess.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 11:03amFact: Glenn Beck advocates principled political participation based on the Bible and Constitution.
Problem: Glenn Beck‘s hypocritical failure to acknowledge Obama’s ineligibility.
Solution: Glenn Beck is undeserving of trust and patronage.
Art. 2, Sec. 1, “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible … .”
Exempting a citizen (the minimum requisite then was US birth to a US father) from being a natural born citizen, proves they are not equal. Only US birth to US citizen parents (plural) is greater, thus defining a natural born citizen.[1]
This was confirmed by Supreme Court binding precedent in Minor v. Happersett, 1874, “The Court held that Minor was a member of the “class” of persons who were natural born citizens. They defined this class as those born in the US to “parents” (plural) who were citizens.” This is “binding precedent as to the Constitutional definition of a natural born citizen.”[2]
