Participation Options - Live Programs
You can view Linkage's live presentations through a variety of approaches.
1. Satellite Broadcast (Live)
The satellite program is broadcast on both C and Ku band. Linkage will provide you with the satellite coordinates one month in advance of the program. You will run a fifteen-minute test one week before the program, and a half-hour test just before the presentation begins (please note that this is a very simple process). This option carries the lowest cost and highest quality broadcast. Note: Beyond Linkage's program fee, there is no additional cost for using this technology, provided that you have the capability to receive these signals.
Minimum Technical Requirements
- C or Ku band analog satellite receive system with steerable antenna
- A/V viewing equipment: television, video projector, etc.
2. Web-Streaming
Live: Each program is offered via live streaming video and allows participation from your desktop or from any internet connection. You are able to call in, email, or fax questions to the presenter. The contact information is provided after you register and in the participant guide. Speakers will answer questions on a first-come, first-serve basis.
In addition to the live webcast, each program is archived online for participants to view over the Internet. This option enables you to view the broadcasts at your convenience from your desktop computer.
