Live Streaming Lava Flow - Oceanic Cable
#1
FYI:

In partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey, Hawaii County Civil Defense, and the town of Hilo, Oceanic Time Warner Cable has dedicated a channel on its digital TV lineup to provide 24/7 streaming coverage of the Pahoa lava flow as it advances on the Big Island. The company has placed two cameras mounted in a company truck on land that is being donated by Bryson’s Cinders, Inc. in a strategic location to the lava flow.

“Oceanic sympathizes with the people impacted by the Pahoa lava flow,” said Gregg Fujimoto, President of Oceanic, “and we are honored to be able to assist the USGS and the Civil Defense in providing a consistent level of information to all the people of the state through this live coverage.”

The special programming will continue indefinitely and is available on digital channels 128/1128.

They should offer to wire us cable-less folks potentially in the lava flow!

Spoke with Oceanic - you have to have a cable tv subscription for digital channels, even if you have cable internet with them. Haven't found any immediate workarounds through the apps or such either.

These are just the webcams on the HVO site. If you read the description of who is sponsoring it, they are the same ones up in the HVO webcam thread. Oceanic truck, HVO cameras, Bryson Cinders location. They are just streaming it to a digital cable channel now.

They are the same webcams, however, they are live streams. I.E. you can see the trees swaying in the wind. They are not still pictures like the HVO site shows that are updated every X time.

They went live on 12-31 here is the other thread http://punaweb.org/Forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20283&whichpage=3
