kakudy · Post by **kakudy** » Sep 29th, '09, 19:03

sopcast 3.24 does not support recording the channel which is not on the channel list.

but sopcast 3.03 can do this ,only click the red round button above the small WMP.

The recorded file should be resized,but I don't konw which software could use to edit an "asf" file.

Best way is to pass the .asf file to Avisynth and let DirectShowSource do the playback if you want to encode.

It's not on App Store. It's an ad hoc distribution. Search for 'i-KeyHoleTV_OS3' on Google and you should be able to find it.

Thanks so much for this. I have used Sopcast for ages to watch football, but did not know there were any japanese channels broadcasting on there.

btw - You can open the video in VLC to correct the aspect ratio.
Also, you can use a program called Cool-Recorder 1.3 or HiDownload to record the streams.

Be diffrient from TVants,the Sopcast channels are all from OSAKA.

You can paste these address to the Sopcast's address column.
But the screen should be 16：9 not that you seen 4:3.
If you want to corrent them,I suggest to download Sopfilter.
After installed the sopfilter,you can use another video player,paste those sop address dirrectly,then change to 16:9

sopcast 3.03 ,the old version ,be capable to record these channel
sopcast 3.24 ,the newest version,be capable to view the H264 channel
sopfilter 3.0.3 ,be able to use other video playing software directly view the channel (screen change to 16:9 manually)

http://www.sopcast.com/download

If you use the Yahoo TV guide,you should choose “大阪” to get the correct information.

In China ,to set or buy the satellite TV to get outside information is illegal and will be punnished to the law.

Thanks for this.

Unfortunately, it isn't for mac so I can't reap the benefits while away from home. Oh well, i'll keep on using Freshverse.

monkeymachine · Post by **monkeymachine** » Oct 6th, '09, 20:54

Thanks for the urls kakudy!

I've been messing around with TVants (changing channels was a pain and speed of the less popular channels) and keyholeTV ( and find sopcast with the filter to be the most versatile. I use the sopfilter with KMplayer so I can have a channel list with the URLs and the ability to record. Pretty good quality and performance too.

@ladymercury
TVants works pretty well under crossover/WINE for me, you'll need to use VLC to connect

The name of TVants' channel is always not correct.
KeyholeTV can help to find out the correct TVants channel name.

Hey guys!
Just wanted to inform you guys that, I believe according to the KeyholeTV website, KeyholeTV will terminate its services on December 13, 8:00 AM Japan time.

"12/1/2009 JST KeyHole system and KeyHole Home page will stop at 12/13 8:00 (AM) - 12:00 (PM) (JST)."

So those of you (like me) who rely on Keyhole may need to find another source.

Do they mean, like, permanently? Or down for repairs? If it's the former that's terrible--Keyhole isn't great but it's better than nothing.

Looks like it's just from 8am to 12pm JST for an inspection.

Here's a babelfish translation copy and paste:
2009 December 1st (JST) December 13th comes 8 o'clock in the morning (JST) from to 12 o'clock in the afternoon, for power source inspection of the office, perusal of the KeyHole system and the home page becomes impossible.

There are however a lot of people hoping they create an official version even though a lot of Japanese smart phones have HDTV built in to them already. So heres hoping!

I tried using KeyHoleTV and JLC's internet TV but both don't have TBSChannel I'm looking for. I'm actually completely clueless about all this, I'm not even sure what's the difference between TBSChannel and regular TBS...

Any help and comment would be much appreciated!!

TBSChannel is not the same as regular TBS. To watch it you must upgrade your cable or find someone who is streaming that channel.

NTKTV is the replacement for firephoenix. The interface is java similar to jptv24. Similar to jptv24, it offers ＮＨＫ教育for free, but it doesn't have live tv, only has recorded content from the past hour or later, and updates with new recording about every hour, just like firephoenix.

Since NTKTV is new, ordering is not yet ready. It will be a paid subscription with multiple channel packages.

Sadly the channels previously mentioned are currently down. I hope they come back online as they were indeed the best quality I've seen for streamed TV.

It's so much more superior to KeyHoleTV it's nearly impossible to compare.

After seeing YTV, KTV, and MBS (which are some TV stations available in Osaka) made me so happy. I truly hope to see them soon. Who knew that TV would make me become so emotional. I used to live close by near YTV Station.

I'd love to see my Hanshin Tigers play too this year!

Not being able to find work in Japan until the economic situation improves to something more sustainable, it will be a while until I can see these shows on my TV in Osaka again. But, I know it's hardly the end of those days. It helps me stay in the know of what's popular in society especially when I can watch shows on Osaka or Kansai area.

knuckles · Post by **knuckles** » Mar 27th, '10, 14:48

koushounin, is the quality of NTKTV good enough for you?

If so, you may be interested to know that the following channels will be available on their paid service:

大阪地上波

1 NHK総合
2 NHK教育
3 MBS毎日放送
4 ABC朝日放送
5 関西テレビ
6 読売テレビ
7 大阪テレビ

Well, at least according to http://www.ntktv.com
Unfortunately, subscription is not available yet so for the moment you are stuck with Tokyo channels.

koushounin · Post by **koushounin** » Mar 28th, '10, 07:32

knuckles

It wasn't that bad actually (the quality of NHK-E). Could be a bit better but under the circumstances its a fair analog reception (hoping for High-Vision to be made available).

I will have to check the price of the service and see the payment options first.
If it is worth it I will set up my TV to display my PC so that I can watch the Tigers play!

UPDATE: We lost 3-2 to the Yokohama Bay Stars. The 3rd game in a 3-Game series. No one could pull it into extra innings and win it like yesterday's game.
