How To Start a TV Broadcasting Company
Years ago, the thought of starting a TV broadcasting company was only reserved for extremely wealthy types who owned thousands of acres of land out in the Midwest, or vacationed on large yachts in the Caribbean, or both. With advances in technology and the drop in prices of video cameras and computers, almost anyone can now purchase the tools necessary to start a TV broadcasting company for a relatively small amount of money.
Infrastructure & Delivery are Important
One important part of an effective broadcasting network is the infrastructure on which the content will be distributed. Sure, you may be able to start a TV network out of your mother’s basement, but what happens when thousands of users try to access your content? Well, your servers will likely crash and your dreams of starting a TV broadcasting company will quickly be over. This is why, before putting any plans in place for becoming the next Fox News or CNN, you must ensure that you are using a robust infrastructure that can handle the demand of your growing user base.
While there are many providers that will host your video content, few offer the many features of TikiLIVE.Whether you are looking to broadcast your content to TV viewers, mobile viewers or viewers accessing your content from their computers – TikiLIVE is here to help.
If you are ready to start your TV broadcasts, follow the following simple steps to get up and running with TikiLIVE in just a few minutes.
Step 1: Recording Your Video Content
When you are recording your video, you have a few options. You can choose to record using a video camera, smartphone or a camera on your computer. While smartphones are great for spur of the moment videos when you are trying to possibly get a break on a hot story, they are limited in their lighting, audio and zoom capabilities. Some computers are also equipped with video cameras, but the video and audio quality often will not suffice for a professional video recording. If you can secure a video camera, you (and your audience) will likely be much more impressed with the finished product.
TikiLIVE’s HD Wave is a robust broadcasting software package that allows you to easily record and stream your video content to all sorts of devices including mobile phones, tablets and set top boxes from manufacturers like Roku.
Step 2: Uploading Your Content to TikiLIVE
Now that you have recorded your video you have to get it out to your fans or followers. With some video content providers this can be extremely difficult, but that’s not so with TikiLIVE.Using TikiLIVE’s Dashboard you can easily upload your video by clicking on the Upload Media tab. Next, click on My Videos and you can view all of the videos that you’ve uploaded allowing you to do a variety of things:
- Access Your Videos – View the videos that you have previously uploaded as well as encoded.
- Monster Encoder – If your videos are in either FLV or MP4 formats you can use TikiLIVE’s Monster Uploader to post these videos to your TikiLIVE Dashboard.
- HTML5 Compatibility – With TikiLIVE’s revolutionary Monster Encoder, you can create videos that are HTML5 compatible. This allows all of your videos to be viewable across devices, even on mobile phones, tablets and set top boxes.
- Edit Video Details – Once videos are in your dashboard, you can then edit details such as title, description and even make small edits like cropping if necessary
- Monetization Options – Once your videos become popular, you can look into a variety of monetization methods. Sell access to your previously recorded content through TikiLIVE’s pay per view module or sell tickets to your live broadcasts to generate additional income. TikiLIVE also integrates with other monetization platforms like Google AdSense, monthly subscriptions and video ads.
- Analytics – You can also view your video analytics through the TikiLIVE dashboard. This allows you to see which videos are performing well and which ones are not. These statistics can allow you to tweak your video content strategy based on user behavior. No need to wait for the Nielsen ratings to be released, with TikiLIVE you have instant access to your user’s viewing habits.
- YouTube Integration – Upload your videos once to the TikiLIVE dashboard and they can be instantly synced with your YouTube account. Sharing your video content across as many platforms as possible will help to increase your viewership.
- White Label Capabilities – Looking to create your own IPTV network? No problem with TikiLIVE.Upload your logo and tailor the entire user experience based on your preferences. Your users do not need to know that your IPTV network sits on TikiLIVE’s robust infrastructure.
Step 3: Broadcast Your Content Across Multiple Devices
As a newly formed TV broadcaster, you need to get your content in front of as many people as possible to grow your audience. This means reaching your user base wherever they may be at anytime. Where 10 years ago, most viewers accessed content from their television at home, this is no longer the case. Now it is important to reach your viewers on smartphones, tablets, computers and set top boxes.
Publish Your Content To Roku Devices
Roku is a popular set top box manufacturer that has largely taken the IPTV world by storm over the past few years. TikiLIVE integrates seamlessly into the Roku platform. Use the steps below to get your content seen by Roku Devices.

What Is the Most User Friendly HTML5 Set-Top Box?
What Is the Most User Friendly HTML5 Set-Top Box?
Communications technology, with the birth of the Internet, has changed our world in ways previously unimagined. In ten years time this little innovation removed the obstacle of distance and altered our use of time. The Internet has invented a parade of new businesses like Google, created a host of new millionaires, instigated a stock market boom and bust and, most importantly, ignited the most concentrated explosion of innovation in modern time. The astonishing flood of ideas loosed by the Internet continues to transform communication, business and culture, and entrepreneurs have stepped up to develop uses for the Internet in record numbers.
Television was the original modern game changing innovation and we’ve been captivated by it ever since its inception. The introduction of cable and satellite television upped the ante by offering hundreds of stations. And, the latest media on-demand offers everything from sporting events, thousands of television shows, to movies, music and podcasts. This evolution continues with the introduction of set-top boxes, which combines both television and internet, allowing users to stream media to their TV using the internet.
What’s a Set-Top Box
The set-top box essentially transforms a television into an Internet interface through a device, or “box” that sits atop the TV – simple enough. The set-top box behaves as a code translator that receives then decodes TV broadcasts, enabling analog TV viewers to receive digital broadcasting.
Additional features permit the user to save and store programs to view later, download video at any time and stream Internet direct programming. And, of course the evolving standards in current technology innovation have advanced to offer the HTML5 set-top box.
Introducing HTML5
HTML5 is a language upgrade used for structuring content that has greatly improved media delivery and overhauled the HTML language. Because it is open and in the public domain, it requires no royalty payments. It also, remarkably, requires no plugins or additional software, so everything from movies and apps to music and all kinds of programming can be streamed natively with no fuss.
HTML5 also translates to Smart technology and mobile devices. HTML5 coding translates as a cross-platform that is compatible with Smart TV, Smartphone, Netbook, and Ultrabook , iPhone and iPad. It has redefined what, how and when online content is viewed on our televisions. It also ensures that movement from Internet content to VOD, broadcast, or on-demand is seamless.
HTML5 Set-Top Box
The advancement from set-top box to HTML5 set-top box is a natural progression as we become more facile with multiple technologies at whose heart is the Internet. We want to unify our technological processes in the same way innovators are seeking languages that speak universally and transcodes that universalize inventions and features.
We love television, but we love the computer too and now people want to enjoy television content that has computer capabilities as well. Set-top box manufacturers are innovating browsers to facilitate these capabilities and conversations between television, computer and mobile devices. The entrance of cross pollinating solutions that provide a broadcasting platform inclusive of HTML5 set-top box has arrived.

How To Stream Live Sports on ROKU
How to Stream Live Sports on ROKU
The television, much like the Internet and its accompanying technologies, arrived on the scene from a collection of inventors and inventive ideas whose time had come. A tipping point or the arrival of a techno-critical mass is what seems to drive these large innovation spurts that develop using evolving standards. The television, for good or ill, has remained the leisure center of the household and holds a place in our modern psyches like Mom and apple pie. It’s where we go to relax, receive and enjoy.
In the squall of technology centered on the Internet and its inventions, it seems a kind of poetic justice that techno-innovators are coming to discover that most importantly, the end-game must be the thing kept sight of, and that brings it all back to the humble television. So for all the modern technical hoopla, whatever is happening on the Internet, we want it in our dens and living rooms where it ought to be. Enter the set-top box, which turns TV watchers into PC users by default, and vice versa.
Roku Brings it Home
Roku is the original streaming video player that connects to your home Internet Wi-Fi signal and enables over 300 channels to be streamed instantly to your television set. The Roku “box” connects to your TV with AV cables (or HDMI cable), and then plugs into a standard wall outlet. Most channels are free, with certain special services like Hulu and Netflix requiring a monthly charge.
The beauty of Roku is that when you buy it, you own it, so there are no monthly bills as with cable and satellite. So it takes very little thought to see that a set top box is certainly giving cable and satellite a run for their money, and it does so by bringing together television and the Internet. So Roku has a cost advantage, and certainly and ease of use advantage relative to a DVD player and buying or renting movies from a store. But what about if you want to stream live broadcasts to your television with Roku, especially live sports broadcasts?
Eyepartner, TikiLIVE and Roku
Developers of advancing technologies and the Internet know they need to get it right by complimenting our lifestyles while continuing to evolve.

Certainly the price is right, because its basic form is free and it is completely customizable.
Like TikiLIVE, WordPress is very simple to use and it can be modified at any time, which is a huge difference from the old website management protocol. Old websites were expensive to create and required a webmaster. A technician had to be called any time a change was needed. So the system was both expensive and cumbersome. There is no HTML editing or FTP software required on WordPress. The code is very simple and any changes that need to be made can be done so easily, without the need for a programmer or technician. Just like TikiLIVE, WordPress sites expand and grow as your business does.
Pay Per Profit on a Streaming Website

The quantum transformation in communication brought on by the Internet has delivered us to a new way of life. The intriguing point about its development is that it is characterized by a kind of rhizome growth, where a single horizontal stem (the Internet) gives rise to seemingly unending shoots of invention. One innovation gives rise to multiple innovations from that single shoot. For instance, Video on Demand gives rise to Live Streaming, and Live Streaming connects to Roku, uniting the Internet with television. Streaming broadcasts give rise to personal broadcasting and Web sites invite video to enhance content. All manner of communication is now cross-pollinating.
Journalism and writing have been recreated through the Internet as well, which has christened it “blogging” – an entirely new genre of writing. WordPress is just such an Internet innovation designed to support the development of blogging. It is designed as a blogging content management tool and the most popular facilitating system for blogging on the Internet. It is designed to be free and open-sourced, providing a template system and plugin architecture for user-friendly organizing. The plugin format enables developers and users to enhance abilities beyond the components and properties designed in the base install. WordPress also includes Widgets that permit additional functionality within the site. This allows for greater sophistication of content and a more compelling site.
Streaming
One of the greatest innovations in Internet technology is HD Video Streaming and it has skyrocketed in popularity since it arrived on the scene. Video streaming is the most successful type online content delivery system, and video content is distributed in a variety of methods and custom perspectives. The idea of streaming is that it eliminates the need to download and save content, and it offers immediate access from a host server.
Video on Demand (VOD) permits users to access streaming videos via their web browsers. Any media that becomes footage can be stored on a web server and then published to the Internet. Live HD Video Streaming has completely diversified the use of Video Streaming and users are integrating both VOD and Live Streaming into their websites to elevate content and create more persuasive and creative sites. Bloggers using WordPress are not to be left out of this sophistication and they are adding streaming to their blog sites, bringing new life and perspective to their writing.
Introducing WordPress to TikiLiVE Streaming
It makes inevitable sense that bloggers with WordPress would want to use Video Streaming as an addition to their sites. But the real technical leap comes when they discover the advantages of joining a hosting company like TikLIVE from Eyepartner. In seeking Video Streaming for their blogs they realize that what they want instead is the full TikiLIVE experience. It is by far more comprehensive and orchestrates the written word, ultimately creating a more substantial point of view.
Because the vision of Eyepartner and TikiLIVE includes continuous invention and partnership with the innovations in communication, TikiLIVE is now conjoining with WordPress – so blogging just got better. EyePartner has released its WordPress module designed for those users of TikiLIVE.
Eyepartner’s WordPress site management has widgetized and embeded TikiLIVE features into WordPress sites. TikiLIVE broadcasters using WordPress can now incorporate streaming video into their WordPress set-up. The idea of combining written blogs with video content is creating a new dynamic in writing that adds energy and dimension to the written text and to blogging websites.
Correspondently, streamed video sites and personal broadcast channels benefit greatly from accompanying text. Each enhances the other and the WordPress plugin makes this enhancement easier than ever. Perhaps a new term will be invented to describe the union of blogging and video….Vlogging.
