You can now watch live and on-demand broadband television webcasts on your computer and also enjoy CD-quality music as your surf the Web. Webcasts are available from the U.S.A. and from a number of European countries including France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Great Britain.

But even if you are currently connecting to the Internet using a conventional dial-up modem broadcast-live.com can offer a broad selection of radio and television broadcasts that you can enjoy. Just click on the Broadband TV banner above to make a connection.

To experience high-quality streaming media, you will require:
1. a high-speed Internet connection
2. streaming audio/video software (available free - see below)
3. multimedia speakers or earphones

High-quality streaming video broadcasts require a fast connection to the Internet (such as cable, ADSL, ISDN or a T1 line) and free software from Microsoft or RealNetworks which can be downloaded from our site.

Your high-speed Internet connection (i.e. broadband) could be ADSL, a cable Internet connection or an ISDN, T1 or T3 line.   This high-speed Internet connection will result in high quality audio/video.  Other factors affecting quality  include your processor type and speed, amount of  RAM and video card.

There are two main types of broadband Internet access available for residential customers today.  These are digital subscriber lines (DSL), which uses existing telephone lines, and cable connections provided by cable TV companies.

The cable modem's "first-to-market" position has given it the early lead among high-speed Internet technologies. Access is available through a coaxial cable, often the same line that carries your cable TV service.  Like ADSL,  high-speed cable Internet access is an "always-on" connection.  This means that  you don't have to dial into your Internet service provider each time you want to check your mail or surf the net.
