Or use a slower internet and transfer the files you cannot send with the
unit. Had someone mail me in a standard envelope a year’s worth of programs on
a tiny SD card. 55 cents and it is here.
It you are an operator at the bottom of the hill, you could get one of those
low-cost Ubiquiti AP AC LR systems at $105 per end and send the 20 MBits up the
hill with that and keep servers down below. If traffic on the network is too
much, then put the servers up on the hill and send programming to them along
with using remote desktop to control everything.

Good points, Rick.
Seems like this would be a better model:
1. Network curates and collects the content
2. Network puts said content onto removeable hard drives, or, heck, tiny SD
cards
3. Network mails said drives or SD cards to LPTV operators
4. Operator plugs said drive or SD card into handy-dandy playback device
5. Handy-dandy playback device plays content off drive
6. Operator takes the video output from handy-dandy playback device and feeds
it into broadcast equipment
Voila! No more expensive CDN feeds, no more HLS/RTMP interruptions every time a
data center in Atlanta gets swamped, no more spinning "buffering" circle, no
more having to have super high speed internet at the tower out on the mountain,
no more having to ask, "How much bandwidth does your feed require?", no more
worry that an internet provider who is also a cable TV competitor will cut you
off.
The only "gotcha" is you need a Pony Express guy to get the drives/cards in the
mail and run them up to the tower reliably.

political stuff here but I did not know how much control a few have. If the
large cable companies take a stand to block political views, how many viewers
lose their source of entertainment. And will the government push to control the
FCC more. Getting scary.

Steve I also hate the butchering of shows...but can you blame them? They're
desperately trying to monetize a very small audience.

Here is the key. Broadcast TV needs to let people know they are there. Too
many networks focus on streaming, completely ignoring over the air choices and
in the meantime program like the cable model of binge and 20 minutes an hour of
ads. That is what is driving people away from cable to begin with.. As a COZI
affiliate, I am disappointed, as are our viewers, in the butchering of shows
in order to squeeze more commercial time in.
