how to deliver tv audio to multiple pc's on a network

[waylman2]

I work in an office where we need to be able to deliver TV audio to 100 or so desks. Any idea on the best way of achieving this?

We could stream the audio or hard wire it. I'm just not having much luck finding products that do this! Thanks!

Live TV audio? Or recorded?

live - it's a financial firm so these guys need to listen to the financial networks in real time.

Do you have a paging system in the office?

If the networks you want to watch are available via cable nd clear QAM, I'd suggest a HD HomeRun TECH3

yes

yes

Easy way could be to hook up the analog stereo out from your live tv source to the amplifier for the paging system and pipe it through those speakers. You could get an input or speaker selector to make it easy to switch back to the telephone/paging system.

This is assuming it's the standard paging setup I'm familiar with. Might have to look in your office's "data closet" or whatever you have. Often times it's a Realistic amplifier hooked up to your phone system.

VLC will let you pipe into a line-in and push out over IP. Agents would need to click on a web link to tune in.
