>I heard about KeyHoleTV somewhere on the internets a long time ago, but somehow forgot about it. Recently, people have been tweeting about it so, I finally remembered to check it out.
KeyHoleTV/Video software allows anyone to broadcast his or her own content. But, the cool thing is that you can watch live Japanese TV and radio right on your ‘puter.
Just head over to the KeyHoleTV website to download the software. The software is available for all major operating systems. Since I’m using OS X at home, I downloaded that one.
Just clicked on the MacOSX directory, and then the 10.6 directory, and selected the DMG. Oh, shig… when you click on the dmg file (at least for me) it tried to open it up in my browser displaying 文字化け (moji-bake). I clicked the back button and right clicked the link to save the file to my download folder. Pop the dmg open, and drag the icon to your applications folder to install.
After you open the app, you get a list of stations… they’re all in Japanese so hopefully you can deal. I chose to watch Fuji TV, and they were showing a re-run of Voice from last year. The screen is small, not much bigger than watching 1Seg on my Nintendo DS lite, but with KeyHoleTV I don’t have to worry about the crappy reception in my house.
I wish I knew about KeyHoleTV back in the US. At least I’ll be able to forgo getting a new TV for a while longer.
