I think you need a web host which supports streaming.

Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Dreamhost supports streaming quicktime, but not live broadcasts. Media has to be prepared in advance with hinting - I presume this requirement is because hinted media is far more efficient.

No doubt other ISPs have policies similar. Just knew about this one.

I too have been looking into a once a week live broadcast type thing and normally the prices are horrendous - this is because of the server load and bandwidth required for listeners - prices usually start for as low as 25 consecutive listeners and that was something like £500 a month at the place I was looking (not sure where now - I just ruled it out straight away lol).

Since the prices are so phenomenol, the only possible solution I found was peercast - basically it uses a p2p system to share bandwidth and make things easier - still not a great solution, especially since listeners need to download a little program or active-x control for it to work (it was tiny tho, 500kb or something).

Worth a look if cost is an issue.
