As someone has mentioned in this thread already, a certain company that rhymes with Lizzard charges $40 for the stream of their convention. While if you use a PLEX you can view our stream for purely in-game currency.
this is a poor excuse, just because another company charges a (higher) fee on a convention-stream for a (crappy) game, you don't have to do the same.

We intend to bring you an awesome show and we really hope you enjoy it if itÆs in SD or HD. Either way itÆs you the viewers that make EVE TV what it is and shows CCP how much value it has to the community, so your support is very important to us.
Define value please. Is it the value of money or the value of valuable information? ;)
And if you want to know, how we (the community) like the information about fanfest and AT (you might go to http://www.youtube.com/user/CCPGAMES?blend=1&ob=5 and just check the "vieved xxxx times" info), for this you don't need to charge any Money or similar.

Don't you think 20 euros is a bit steep for just a higher res version of a free broadcast?
I think the price is fair in my opinion. The 20 Euros is purposely a little higher than the cost of a PLEX so if youÆre an active subscriber I would recommend going the PLEX route, and while the free stream will be fine to watch and listen to for a while if you intend to settle in for a marathon session on the Saturday I would definitely recommend the HD stream.
I also want to point out here that people are paying thousands on flights, hotels and tickets to come to Fanfest in person, so this is a small cost with that in mind to get a part of the Fanfest experience.
yes and there are people how make millions of dollars a year. (if you would have to pay to view a connvention from home, would you consider to go to fanfest instead? or migth it bring more people to fanfest in person if the stream would be for free?)
I doubt that the stream (sd or hd) will be able to bring the feeling of fanfest to our homes (isn't it a "small" difference to attend to a rockconcert, beeing in the crouwd poging or sitting at home an watching it on TV?)

Especially since there's no guarantee it's going to be up, or good quality (as in sound mixing)..
All I can say is weÆre aiming for this to have a very high production standard. WeÆll have a dedicated team of around 15 people working on EVE TV to make this as good as possible.
Anyone who watched the last Alliance Tournament in HD that is essentially the quality of the stream youÆll be getting. Our last feed went very well and we hope to improve on that even further. That said we cannot guarantee the quality of the internet during the event or your own connection.
Heard this one not long ago, while the Wordchampionship in Germany, the hd-stream worked fine till the game startet ;)
