I run an Internet TV Station for Latin Indie Music Fans here in Austin (estereobit.tv), and one of the core services is live broadcasting, so these sort of apps interest me a lot. I tried Meerkat during SXSW, but yeah, I'm switching to Periscope. I had users complaining about broken streams, and how they couldn't get the video on time. This could have been due to internet traffic because it's off the charts during SXSW; I'm not sure how it does on smaller events. Reach worries me for sure. I don't know the details of how that is going down with Twitter though. Another thing that worries me is that I can't save videos. A good show can keep accumulating views forever so having that footage available is important. Quality is also a big problem. In low-light settings and with loud music, it's hard to get a good show with just the iPhone. I was thinking of investing in a good camera but I don't know how that would work with these apps. Does anyone have any ideas on how could I get through this hurdle?
