Video streaming services for a church

[Peter_Vidal@xxxxxxxx]

Good morning list!

I work as an Assistant Pastor and also as the Webmaster for a church here 
in Tampa, FL.  Got this project to explore several options out there that 
may help us to do this.  We want to be able to transmit our services: 
(youth, concerts, studies, conferences, etc.) via the Internet. Obviously, 
our preferred option is to have these services free of cost; however, the 
peculiar characteristic we want to be diligent about is what we do not 
want "ads" during the sessions or transmissions of activities / services. 
We are worried for those inappropriate advertisements that may come up.  I 
know a friend in the ministry that currently has the ability to transmit 
his services through the Internet but he has ads... when I went to see 
some of the videos available from previous services, some content in 
regards to medications like "viagra" came up and also few more about beers 
and other type of alcoholic beverages. 

I am aware that in order to get free services, they have to be "paid" 
somehow and advertisements are the ones who provide that solution.  That 
is why that, if there is no way to get the service configuration that we 
want (without the "inappropriate" advertisements) for free, I would like 
to have your recommendations for the most cost/effective solution out 
there that you can recommend to us.  I know that there is a trend in the 
online advertising techniques that now you can select the type of ads you 
may want to receive.  I know that Yahoo is doing that recently with the 
personalized pages.  There is no way you can escape from them but at least 
you can tailor the type of ads that you can see.  I am open to that 
solution as well. 

On any scenario, your input is highly valuable.  I would really appreciate 
all your comments on this subject. 

Thanks in advance and best regards to all,
