Hack of the day: Broadcasting TV programs via Skype
-

It’s not directly Skype, but a none affiliated Japanese company Novac. But peer-to-peering and content-sharing will forever remain as the Skype left and right brain side. And through the voice client, Novac demonstrates Skype’s abilities to disrupt/disturb a well-established industry: TV broadcasting.
The Novac TV plugin provides “TV everywhere”. Here’s it works: “To do so you will have to plug an USB TV Tuner on your Home PC and install a dedicated software, once done, from any other PC connected to Internet and in your Skype software you will have the possibility to remotely access to your TV.”
And it makes a lot of sense. During the soccer World Cup 2006 in Germany, a handful of technical peer-to-peer solutions, like TVAnts or MySee, have been released. If Skype keep tolerates such practices, this could change TV broadcasters practice and get them really mad.
