The hits just keep coming here at Revision3! I’m excited to announce another new feature, long in the making.
It’s our very first “live” feed, and it’ll ensure that there’s always something to watch.
What’s actually on? Alas, it’s not a live stream of Sarah Lane’s desk, or David Randolph’s shop. Nor is it Martin with one of those cheesy head-mounted cameras (although he begged for one). Nope, it’s a real, live feed of Revision3 programming, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
That’s right, any time, day or night, you can simply click on our “Live” button and let us do the programming for you. Sit back and be surprised and amazed by one of our 11 (soon to be 12) great shows. It’s the perfect antidote to the On-Demand world of web video. You don’t have to do anything – just set it and forget it.
I can think of a hundred ways to take advantage of our new live program loop, and here are just a few:
Leave it on all day on the job while cranking out that busywork for the boss.
Too tired to decide what to watch at night? Leave our live feed on and be surprised by the latest from Martin, Patrick, Kevin and Alex.
Cranky baby? The soothing tones of our Revision3 programs will have her sleeping in no time.
Driving cross country? With a laptop and EVDO card, we’re better than radio (but perhaps illegal in some states).
Bored in class? Tune out the teacher with our always on loop.
There are lots more fun ways to use our new live programming loop – leave your ideas in the comments below, and we’ll highlight some of the best suggestions on one of our programs.
But wait, I forgot the best part. You don’t have to watch alone. That’s because we’ve added an always-on chat stream to the live stream. That’s right, you can watch what’s on RIGHT NOW with your friends, and other Revision3 fans from around the world. Who knows, maybe one of your favorite Revision3 stars will stop by and say hi too!
So stop by, see what’s on, and then chat about it (or anything that’s on your mind) 24 hours a day. Powered by Meebo, our Revision3 chat room turns viewing our shows into an interactive, community experience!
Now, with Revision3, you’re never alone! And expect even more “live” stuff to come in the future!

You guys are really pushing it. Great to see more of those interactive features at Revision3
Keep up the good work guys.
Cheers

Like real TV. I love it!
I had a feeling revision 3 is going to turn into an online techTV, better though.
Keep up the great work guys! The more content (thebroken) the better! Thanks for all the work!
WOW–i also cant wait for Rev3 to go the Tech TV route.. awesome!

This is awesome. I may brave the snow and go to work tomorrow now, since i’ll have something to watch
[...] Looks like this is old news. I found this blog post from a couple of days ago, that seems to confim my expectations. I tuned back in to see [...]
Amazing. Exactly what I’ve wanted ever since I knew the idea behind rev3. I have some suggestions though:
1)Above the video: Currently On: Lorem Ipsum Episode 1(link to that shows page)
2)below the video: a little list of thumbnails showing what will be on next, etc.
3) Add the canceled shows in the loop of videos. I’d love to randomly see an episode of CAC, etc.
4)On the front page maybe tell the viewer what is “currently on”
5)Have an option in your account prefs to say what time zone you are in (to dynamically change what the schedule page says)
6)account pref to include the chat web app on every page they watch a video on, on the rev3 site.
laxaloot, you have some great ideas. I hope to see these ideas implemented.
The video itself is laggy as anything. I have fios and get a solid 5 Mbit down. It gets a buffer, but isn’t smooth. Also site note about the site, the drop down menus get covered by the video. Hope it gets fixed, but great job with the roll out.

I agree with laxaloot, there need to be a way to tell what your watching. I turned it on and see kevin and alex on a couch but have no idea when this episode is from.
I noticed that there is an option to go full screen but it is poorly done. It takes over both screens so it’s not possible to watch it on a TV and work on the computer. It would be nice to share the streaming URL so that it can be opened in a native media player like quicktime or VLC to allow more possibilities and easier usability.
“You don’t have to do anything – just set it and forget it.” = Classic. And you too can enjoy the wonders of the Live feed for just 4 easy payments of Zero dollars and Zero cents.
I love the streaming player, however I do agree with deix15×8 that I can not watch Fullscreen on my TV and work on my monitor. I would also like to see the resolution bumped up possibly to HD. I know not everyone has the bandwidth to pull HD video but it would be a nice feature for the ones who can.
Your team has done a fantastic job, keep up the great work. If Vista could only worked as smooth as your site.
Final an alternative to crappy Cable television. Here are some suggestions though.
1) Add a video quality option
2) put a poll on the page so we can vote for the next show we want to see (I think that would be a pain to program though)
3)laxaloots idea for a scheduling is really cool. It would be nice to see whats coming up
4) tell us about the show we are watching with some show notes.
Anyway its nice to see Rev not only making great content but being progressive with new ideas.
