Since SL gives you the possibility (on your own land, at least) to watch live streams, i'd be interested to know: do you actually use this feature and if so, what do you watch ? SL-usable links would also be apprechiated.

I didn't do much searching around on the Internet for properly usably live streams myself, so the only one I can offer is:

NASA TV

I have an installation at Skegemog (108,80,116)

The floor is a 20mx15m TV screen spread over four prims - playing old black-and-white comedy movies
http://www.americafree.tv/unicast_mov/AmericaFreeTVComedy.mov

It ads to the air of unreality in the building. The inside faces of the walls have an 'invisibility' texture. As you move around inside , much or all of the outside world disappears.
No grief, no ads, no ground - but bits flash into view depending on the angles. Not for the fain of heart.

I suppose I'll get it eventually, to keep up with the neighbors. But I won't watch it much. I came to SL to get AWAY from television!
