Desktop only for now. It's an early prototype.

I came up with this idea today and wanted to put together a test to see if it's worth doing. It works like a TV channel and just shows pool matches and clips all the time. No skipping ahead, no pausing, no ruining the game by seeing the buffer, etc.

If it ends up being a good idea, I'll probably have it show free live feeds when they're available + more.

Turn it on when you're bored and start watching some pool.

Just added a volume slider + icon to the lower right side. Some other people were asking about adjusting the volume.

I just checked it out and a match from the USBA NAtional 3-cushion event was playing so KUDOS for not ignoring the 3-cushion crowd!!!

Now, if you just can make it accessible via roku.. . .
 
I like it. Is it just scrapping YouTube or is there a defined set of videos that it's playing randomly?
 
Please let me know if you need color commentary or something along those lines. Im interested in becoming a Media Icon.

Thanks,

I tried to check it out but all I seen was a black screen and a logo that takes me to some sort of home page.

What am I missing?

Were you viewing it on a computer? It works mainly on a desktop right now... so Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc. It should just start playing videos. Right now (at 3:10pm) it's Darren appleton vs Ko Pin Yi

Billiard Channel on ROKU does this already. What's your differentiator?

It's not on Roku.

It's going to eventually also stream live events and let you select what type of live events to watch (in addition to re-runs).

Is that a differentiator? I guess that's a good one :)

I look forward to it. I was hoping that the Billiard Channel would eventually offer "View on Demand." Streaming for them is of course InsidePOOLTV.

Fred, go into the roku app, then once its loaded, hit the back arrow on the top of the remote. It goes to a screen where you can select different matches etc.

Great Idea, I like having pool on in the background while I'm working.

Is there a list that shows the programming schedule?

Is this new? Or did I just never know it existed and missed it?
