Rothblog: Live in your living room, it’s… Rothbury?

May 28th, 2009 at 10:37 pm by The Rothblog under Entertainment

When it came time for the acts to hit the stage for last year’s Rothbury Festival, I was sitting on the sidelines. And by sidelines, I mean my living room. I was the proud Papa of a brand new baby boy, and that meant trading The Disco Biscuits for Diapers.

Luckily, those folks at iClips.net were there to save me. Streaming sets throughout the weekend, from the big show, right into my house. The quality was great, though obviously an internet stream. It did however bring me as close I was gonna get to the Festival.

It appears that the iClips folks were not satisfied. There’s always room for improvement, apparently. The guys at iClips tell me they have moved to a Flash-based delivery system, and are working to incorporate HD as well – better quality, better stability, and a better product. They also said they’re making the final preps necessary to once again broadcast from Rothbury.

Is it as good as being there? Well, we’re gonna get a chance to find out. iClips has given me access to their broadcast of Mountain Jam this weekend, so that I can review it for you. But I’m not selfish, so I want to hook someone else up with a preview as well. My only request is that you send me a review of your iClips experience when you’re done. Deal? Deal.

I have one (1) single-day code available for this weekend’s broadcast from Mountain Jam – all you need to do it email me before Noon (EST) tomorrow – kindly put “iClips” in the subject line. I’ll pick someone at random, and send the code on over.
