Hi Dave,

Thought this would be interesting for IPer.

A China software company (www.pplive.com) is developing a live TV broadcasting system using peer to peer technology. The basic idea is you can watch live stream TV from your peers while at the same time you also stream out.

As of now, you can try watch >80 china channel.

The software can be downloaded from
http://www2.pplive.com/download/PPLiveSetup.exe
(Don't worry, they have English menu)

Testing so far indicate very high quality TV video so long you have sufficient bandwidth (recommended 6mbps or more).
