I have a BT video card, but I am thinking of video signals delivered
directly via internet. It might be necessary to have ntsb, pal and other
decoders to properly display the signals. I don't really know how video
feeds are transmitted over the internet. So far I have only watched
videos from Youtube, Google. But I'd like to get videos from England,
Germany and France for starters.
