At the risk of posting a shameless plug, might I suggest following up on Louis Srygley’s comment about renting the unit. You could then afford to earn while you learn and part of the cost of the rental would be applied towards the purchase.

Just a thought…

I say go get it. Any ROI you can realize in just 12 months is a good deal. I’m assuming it’s not a cheap, plastic box.

Look. You are a smart young girl. Now is the time to take a chance if there ever was one. Without risk there is no chance for reward.

You are bright i am sure you will make the right choice.

I’m not sure that i get live streaming either. I’ve got an n800, but it isn’t a cell, it’s tied to wifi. So, i’ve either got to be home or at one of a few wifi spots for streaming to be possible. If i’m near home, i’ll just watch it on a computer. I’d much rather download it completely, then watch it. For one, 100 KB/sec is minimal for watching video. And who knows what the wifi hot spots have, or have left over. In any case, time shifting is important to me. Haven’t watched live TV for twenty years when it was my choice. After 30 years of ignoring radio, i’m doing 15 hours of audio podcasts a week. I don’t watch sports, but my Dad records the Superbowl for later. Perhaps it’s genetic.

I am catching up on GeekBrief from January on the n800. Just finished Feb. Last was hysterical breast massage machine (!). But storing them for later consumption is my point…

If you are producing a show essentially for free the least we can do is give a couple dollars to help out. Maybee even post a Paypal link for us to contribute.

I know it’s a big expense, but maybe there are ways to lighten the cost. For example, maybe Mevio(Podshow) would be willing to fund part of it. Or maybe, you do a little fund raising and ask viewers who are able to make a donation. Or maybe, you have a rich uncle that you haven’t spoken to in years that you should go speak to. I personally love the show and wouldn’t mind chipping in a little to made a great show better. Those are my two cents.

Cali, if you got the money go for it because I don’t and I want to see what you and Neil think of it. I’ve got a big love affair with the Neutrik inputs so I’m a bit biased. I wish everything used neutrik inputs.

I’d like to see you guys go for it! But it takes more than the investment alone. Without a good idea and well planned programming, it might not hold more than fleeting interest for some people.

Since you are traveling and will likely come across all kinds of things and opportunities you don’t expect I think the argument for investing in technology for streaming is even better than it is for those who have already done it. You have a great opportunity for new, refreshing and cutting edge programing.. I am looking forward to it… (I never write comments but really enjoy your shows VERY much!)

Is the Tricaster your only option, or could you start with something cheaper, see if it is a good return on your investment, and then trade up?
