So What Does is Take to Get the Copa Mundial Into Your Sala?

12:18 H | Topics: Events - Sports - Telecomm - TV

I've been watching most of the Copa Mundial from the comfort of my living room sofa and according to Gizmodo, I'm not alone. These are some of the stats according to the tech blog:

5,000,000,000: Viewers expected to watch the games
45000: Estimated number of network connections for TV production
2200: Hours of feeds produced
2000: Staff of TV productions
2000: Press, commentators
1300: Kilometers of cable for 12 venues
800: Camera positions
750: kilometers of audio/video cables

And what to do if your hypothetical sister wants to watch television while the partidos are on? Catch a live stream on the internet of course. But that's an entirely different post.

Chack out all the A/V stats on the Copa Mundial at Gizmodo.

You found a live stream? Better share that link!

Well it's not exactly a live stream. You can download sopcast (sopcast.com) and catch live streams from Brazilian and Japanese T.V. stations. I haven't found one in English or Spanish yet though.
