Well yes, but the point I was trying to make was, it's not like we can't get the video, and finding a way for TBA to be able to put it up is just another step. In the same way, we can work towards being able to stream higher-quality video, rather than complain about the current low-quality video. Almost everyone here has said that high-quality non-zoomed video is good, so let's try to work towards that.

Also I don't know of any cheap video capture devices that can take a HD signal into a PC and then have enough bandwidth to stream that to a free service that would webcast HD video to 200-400+ people. Yea I would love for that all to be a realistic scenario, but it currently isn't (maybe in 5-10 years?). I think we have to focus on making the most of what is available to us.
True, but maybe teams could pitch in towards webcasting HD video, one way or another? It's obviously not cheap, but considering how much people seem to want it, I don't think that's a particularly bad idea.
