Why Youtube rather than the batc.tv archive?
As was explained at CAT15 we are looking to redevelop our web presence including the streaming portal, but have decided that there is little point in maintaining our own archive when Youtube do an excellent job and do not consume our storage or bandwidth capacity.
What we are investigating is the use of software which will enable us to build a gallery on our website with our own look and feel but embed the videos which will stay on Youtube - this will enable us to build a library with good search facilities and no adverts.
We will be gradually transferring all the assets over from the batc.tv archive and have already transferred all the previous CAT presentations and a couple of ATV on the air videos which include our current President and Secretary in their youth
The URL is currently https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUWLnU ... CFd93tnBzw - we do hope to get a short URL in the near future.
We have absolutely NO plans to move any other facilities over to other platforms - we will continue to run the live streamer for repeaters, members streams and live events are in the process of beta testing a new platform which was used for both AMSAT and CAT15.
