+ <div class="title">The Norwegian open channel Frikanalen - 24x7 on the Internet</div>
+ <div class="date">25th February 2015</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>The Norwegian nationwide open channel
+<a href="http://www.frikanalen.no/">Frikanalen</a> is still going
+strong. It allow everyone to send the video they want on national
+television. It is a TV station administrated completely using a web
+browser, running only <ahref="https://github.com/Frikanalen">Free
+Software</a>, providing a REST api for administrators and members, and
+with distribution on the national DVB-T distribution network RiksTV.
+But only between 12:00 and 17:30 Norwegian time. This has finally
+changed, after many years with limited distribution. A few weeks ago,
+we set up a Ogg Theora stream via icecast to allow everyone with
+Internet access to check out the channel the rest of the day. This is
+presented on
+<a href="http://www.frikanalen.tv/se">the Frikanalen web site now</a>. And
+since a few days ago, the channel is also available
+via <a href="https://www.uninett.no/iptv-tilgang">multicast on
+UNINETT</a>, available for those using IPTV TVs and set-top boxes in
+the Norwegian National Research and Education network.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to see what is on the channel, point your media player
+to one of these sources. The first should work with most players and
+browsers, while as far as I know, the multicast UDP stream only work
+with VLC.</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><a href="http://video.nuug.no/frikanalen.ogv">http://video.nuug.no/frikanalen.ogv</a></li>
+ <li>udp://@224.17.43.129:1234</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The Ogg Theora / icecast stream is not working well, as the video
+and audio is slightly out of sync. We have not been able to figure
+out how to fix it. It is generated by recoding a internal MPEG
+transport stream with MPEG4 coded video (ie H.264) to Ogg Theora /
+Vorbis, and the result is less then stellar. If you have ideas how to
+fix it, please let us know on frikanalen (at) nuug.no. We currently
+use this with ffmpeg2theora 0.29:</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+./ffmpeg2theora.linux <OBE_gemini_URL.ts> -F 25 -x 720 -y 405 \
+ --deinterlace --inputfps 25 -c 1 -H 48000 --keyint 8 --buf-delay 100 \
+ --nosync -V 700 -o - | oggfwd video.nuug.no 8000 <pw> /frikanalen.ogv
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>If you get the multicast UDP stream working, please let me know, as
+I am curious how far the multicast stream reach. It do not make it to
+my home network, nor any other commercially available network in
+Norway that I am aware of.</p>
