I signed up for a justin.tv account so my friend could watch me play Fatal Frame II, but it didn't work too well on his end due to his slow internet connection.
@fisher81: Well, I use a dazzle capture device but I can only get video out of it for some reason. I can play on my tv with a splitter for the video cable.

Yeah my friend has the dazzle but he was having trouble with it as well.
I use a HAVA HD, wireless and it sends 720p which is nice. Got it on sale
@JJOR64: it doesn't really take a lot of equipment to do it. all you really need is a camera that connect to your computer and boom. you have a stream.
Yeah the equipment isn't too bad. Of course I have a pretty nice set-up for my podcasting, so I was set for audio and all I needed was the HAVA box. But despite that, my audio set-up was 180 dollars (Samson Shockmount, Audiotechnica At2020 Condenser Mic, Naday Pop Guard, DS7200B Desk Mic Stand/Onstage Boom), and the hava box was 110 dollars discounted. That's not exhorbitant, and if you just used a basic headset dynamic mic and a dazzle/hava, it could be cut to between 60-140 dollars for quality streaming (as quality as justin.tv gets).
@TwoOneFive: It's hard to get some viewers if the more popular streamers are streaming and hog all the viewers lol. Add me on jtv because I usually watch my friends streams and I stream often.
I tried broadcasting video games but I have DSL and video looks like crap, only works well with Atari games. Im glad giantbomb introduce me to justin tv Im always on there and made many friends there.
