The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How can I Webcast a live football game (audio AND video) inexpensively?

Zones: WebEx Conferencing Software, Miscellaneous Hardware, Broadband Internet

Tags: football, live, game, webcast

I am looking for a webcasting solution for a live, video webast of a football game. I'm a hybrid or sorts; a coach who is fairly tech savvy. Software developer, really; not too much in the hardware arena. I found an answer relating to webcasting, but I don't think it would fit my situation. So here's (hopefully) the whole scenario.

We have a website on a webhost that isn't able to stream live audio and/or video. Cost is a substantial consideration. We want to do this on the cheap, but quality enough to have a fairly clear webcast. We would be broadcasting from football stadiums using one camera (professional, local Access Channel quality) and a laptop (2GB RAM, 100GB hard drive minimum, 99% certain XP Pro) with a broadband card since few staduims have broadband capability; or broadband capability that they won't let us use. Maybe a small camera (e.g. Logitech) for in-booth cutaways. Vanity, really; but such is volunteer work. The locations would be in the Pacific Northwest: Washington, Idaho and Oregon.

The bottom line is what type of hardware (and configuration) and Internet connectivity would we need? Do we need to start our own ISP, or find a host that can take our stream and set it up for maybe 100 folks (to begin with) to "tune in?"

I'm probably not clear enough, or I might not be asking the right questions. But is there a simple (humor intended) solution for a beginner?
