IPTV at Lancaster University
The IPTV Technical Trial (formerly known as the Multicast Technical Trial) is an initiative at Lancaster designed to provide staff and students with access to digital television and radio via their computer for teaching and research purposes.
With IPTV the television service is distributed across the local network, without the need for an aerial, satellite dish or digital receiver. Television programmes are maintained at the full resolution and quality of the original service -- there is no picture degredation. Lancaster's IPTV system allows instant access to a wide range of channels from Freeview, UK Satellite and Foreign Satellite services.
Please follow the links on the left of the page to gain access to the channels (when prompted you will need to login with your Lancaster username & password in order to start viewing the channels).
Note that these channels are made available exclusively for Lancaster staff and students, accessed via University equipment on University premises for the benefit of teaching and/or research.
