Hi Pete,

So you are wanting to do this "live" correct? And you are already taping
this stuff now?

Subject: [PCTECH] Video streaming services for a church

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,

PETER
