Microsoft launched its beta testing for LiveStation, a joint venture with London-based Skinkers which allows users to watch live, uninterrupted TV online.
Stepping up from the usual video streaming networks, LiveStation provides live content so that you can watch TV programs through your desktop or laptop even if you’re away from a television screen. “This product streams live television on a computer over a peer-to-peer network, which means you don’t need to use all the traditional server infrastructure and bandwidth associated with streaming,” said Matteo Berlucchi, co-founder of Skinkers.

It’s not Microsoft who launched the beta, Skinkers did. Although Skinkers is backed by Micrsoft, it’s a minor stake. Skinkers takes their own initiative.
