Video Distribution Platform Aiming to Kill TV

Downhill Battle have a new open source video platform — a publishing tool based off of BattleTorrent and a video player written in Python. They’ve started a whole new organization to sponsor the project. They say TV channels will be made out of RSS feeds and anybody can subscribe to another user’s content channel. The system is being designed for the express purpose of putting broadcasting in the hands of individuals. I like this idea of using recent advances in filesharing and syndication to allow aggregated content to be delivered to your desktop
