Will you be willing to chip in if someone offered to stream Chiefs games?
 

grandllama did us the greatest service last season. He put up some amazing Chiefs games streams. However, he can't this year because

I asked a few people and they said they would be willing to try to cover as much of the DT and streaming costs as possible.

This thread is trying to gauge how much we can cover (roughly). I'll PM grandllama and bring this thread to his attention. If he can't do it, please feel free to offer your great services to your CP brethren o:-).

We will try to cover as much as we can of the costs.
I would also like to add that we would like it to be only accessible to CP members with special credentials so that it does not hog up the uploader's internet connection.

Here's what grandllama had to say about this. Anyone can help with setting it up?



So, what do you think CP?

As for me, I am going to chip in 50 dollars.
kysirsoze is putting 20 dollars.
Pawnmower, 10 dollars.
Munkey, 10 dollars.
Loochy 20 dollars.
chief1okie not specified yet
Blazzin311 10 dollars
ElGringo, 20 dollars
lurker king, 25 dollars.

Can a mod please sticky this and make the poll public?

DTV is giving the sunday ticket FOR FREE!!!! DO IT

I forgot, grandllama also said this,

"If someone has DirectTV I can still provide the streaming."

Shit, I think we can get him DTV, instead of him getting it from someone else.

I'd chip in 20 bucks. I've got a buddy who's got ST but sometimes it's great just rolling out of bed and watching the game.

I messaged him and asked him to take a look at the thread.

Where I am, I don't get any NFL regardless. I assume it is the same with quite a few CP members.

If it were in Hd yes

Perhaps he will also offer HD amateur porn as well!!

I don't care as long as it is in real time and not choppy. Last year grandllama put it in high and low res and both were damn fine.

I have DTV / ticket but I will still help out, and throw 10bux minimum on it

No. I have to pay for sunday ticket.

Thanks bro. Hopefully grandllama will see this and get it for us.

i dont need any1 to get me my porn. this is 2011.

That is why we want to get this going asap. Once grandllama agrees, we can ask AustinChief to make the private subfourm and we go from there.

So, I'm guessing none of you live by a bar that has the games on Sunday?

I can't smoke in the bar or drink beer for $0.65 a bottle...

Not even close.

This!

Those streams were fun last year. The quality was good and the chat room was fun. Count me in for at least $20.

I would be IN on this program. Please contact me with details on when, where, and how much.

Where the **** do you live?

or puff on the danks

As much as I would love to watch the games, I am ok with the listening to the legal radio feed.

Good luck guys.

I would chip in.

My problem wasn't so much in affording Direct TV as it was in affording my house LOL

Right now I'm pretty much homeless.

I can setup the streams again, but somebody will have to feed the streams. Someone in KC with a video capture card and a Windows machine would be perfect and I can show them how to send it to my streaming servers.

Of course, somebody with ST and a windows machine with a video capture card would work too...

Basically you just upload the stream to my servers and they do all the work.

The games cost me about $20 each last year in bandwidth costs.

Does it have to be KC?

Anyone can help out?

If we are talking about a closed community with good quality I'll chip in $20 to cover the cost of one game.

While I think this could be useful, I have to question putting this thread where it is publicly visible. The wrong person sees this, they could pull the whole Chiefsplanet domain. I'd rather not see this cached by Google either. Is there any way we can put this in a members-only subforum or something more private?

Agreed.

+1

Yes I would be willing to help out as llama's streams were excellent last year, but only if this is set up in a more discreet manner.

I used to offer my slingbox to folks for football and basketball... Heck even offered it to MU fans on here for basketball...


But we moved out into the country now, I went from a cox 50mb down and 5mb up to 1mb up and down...

I dont think my stream will be that good anymore, so it probably wont offering that to folks... I will be willing to try it when the games start, just cant guarantee the quality anymore...

Ya, put this shit in Media Center where no one ever looks.

It means people probably don't want to go on a public message board that can be archived and come out and say "Yes, I want to break the law. Please tell me how I can take part."

Google doesn't care what subforum it's in. You don't think the league has people on its payroll whose only job is googling for illicit streams? If it's viewable to the public it can always be found eventually. I'm worried because the exchange of money would make it a target.

But I'll just give llama money because he's a nice guy and I feel bad about his house situation.

Claythan/GoChiefs/GifHorse I'm looking your way...

Is there a grand llama fund drive going on, to help him with his hard times? I'd be interested in that. In return someone can send a smoke signal to all interested parties with a password link to where to make the donations on a weekly basis.

well...

I would also be willing to donate to a planeteer in need. Now this illegal streaming stuff, I don't even know what that means.

Well being as NFL Sunday ticket is now on PS3, I will no longer need to stream my Chiefs games this year. However, for the pas 5 or 6 years I've had to find a stream almost every Sunday like many of you....and like many of you last year I was able to enjoy this thanks to grandllama and all of his hard work. So because I understand the predicament that many of you are in, I'd gladly donate $10 to help out all of my CP brethren. I know it's not much, but hey it's something. Just let me know where and how to allocate the funds. ;)

Another problem is with the TV feed, you cannot hear the guy with the raspy voice that says Tooucchhhddooowwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Kaaaannnsssaasssssssssssssss Ccciityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Maybe someone can stream the radio in with the video feed. ;)

Since I am out of KC now as well I can help out as well and would like to see this go in to a private forum.

Yes, but we need to somehow splice that with some video with correct timing.

We tried last year, it did not work.

I am always willing to chip in on someone covering exclusively the Chiefs, other streams are usually bad and hard to find. I would donate at least 20...and very likely make that donation 2 or 3 times (can only afford 20 in one single month, but would like to give more than once).

This is how it was done last year, only contributing members had access to the sub forum with the info.

Oh...and to the copyright nazis, I will not feel bad for accessing in this format something I have no other way to access. I live in North America, so nfl.com stream is out, but I live in Mexico, so no ST for me either.

XME Forums does something similar. In fact, they arelady have several NFL streams available. You might take a gander at their set up or see if they would be willing to host the games. They charge for their streaming services but I can vouch for their quality as this is usually where I pick up the UFC fights.

I can't vouche for the quality for their NFL games, but you're correct.....if they're anything like the UFC fights streamed on that sight then it's very good quality.

I'd chip in $25 or so if that would help him out.

Understood but what part of "no rebroadcast, no retransmission without express written consent from the NFL" do people not understand?

I won't say I have not found and watched games myself (including GLs feed last year). My concern is for AustinChief and this website in general. I would hate to lose my on-line home.

If this could bring trouble to CP then I have no problem with a mod deleting this thread.

The law states that we can have written links as that is just dissemination of information. Making them clickable links is where it gets fuzzy. At least that is the way it used to be.

I am still staff at what used to be one of the largest "aaaarrrrggghh matey" sites on the net. In fact, the owner of the site wound up in the Ohio Supreme Court because of our forum. In the end, charges were dropped because our links were not clickable.

Dunno if it would work the same in the state where this site is hosted but just passing along the experience. YMMV

I'm in the same boat. I can give 20 to start with and will donate at least another 20 a month , hopefully more.

i would pay for a cheeseburger

Whoa buddy, you just upped your posts per year count by a ton.

I'm in for $20 if it is secure and reliable.

The Llama was my hero last year, as it was my first time living outside KC.

If there was a grandllama fund ;);) thread set up to help him out. And give out a password to the ones donating. If this were to go up. Would that send any red flags. Just thinking.

Tuesday?

That was posted to illicit a reaction out of the people who get defensive when people suggest the media center be dropped. It was a joke. Apparently a bad one.

Given the recent actions to take down people who do this, It's pretty irresponsible to name names here.

this

its a pretty big deal nowadays. There was a major article not too long ago about them throwing some kid in prison over making 6000 bucks on a similar thingy.

This thread needs deleted asap and a replacement one needs posted that is a bit more discreet.

I will gladly pay pall $20 next pay day o have his again love the chat and game
(pay day is next weekend
just let me know

This would be a major concern to me:

http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairba...rts_arrest.php
Federal agents today arrested Bryan McCarthy, 32, for running a Web site that illegally livestreamed NFL games, pay-per-view fights and other sporting events.

The operator of channelsurfing.net was arrested at his Deer Park home without incident by officers of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

The feds say he had made more than $90,000 in profits from ads sold on the site since December 2005, and that the site had gotten 1.3 million hits since it was seized by the government on February 1.

"Today's arrest is another step forward in the ongoing investigation by New York HSI Agents into copyright infringement and theft of intellectual property rights," said James T. Hayes, special agent in charge of HSI in New York. "We will continue to investigate illegal streaming of programming on the Internet in an effort to preserve legitimate and creative business interests and deter others from engaging in online piracy."

"Bryan McCarthy allegedly sought to profit by intercepting and then streaming live sporting events, hiding behind the anonymity of the internet to make a quick buck through what is little more than high-tech thievery," said Preet Bhara, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. "This arrest sends a clear message that this office, working with its partners at HSI, will vigorously protect valuable intellectual property rights through arrests and domain name seizures."

The feds said McCarthy's site showed "National Football League (NFL), the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Hockey League (NHL), World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). All of these organizations hold the copyrights to the televised broadcasts of their respective sporting events."

He faces five years in prison.

This room needs a good cleaning before Mom gets home.

I'd throw in 20 or 30.

340 bucks is a lot of money. I don't even have cable. I can't bring myself to pay that much for the NFL....

I'd chip in 10 bucks for this though. The chat alone was awesome.

The big part of that seems to be "seeking to profit." I don't think this situation is the same.

Same. Put me down for a twenty twin twinnn ****er

Status? 40 hours till game time.

i'm wonderin' meself
