Meeting Notes 11.3.15 - Meeting with FATV to discuss TelVue FATV got TelVue in July 2015. The decision to get TelVue was made by the former Executive Director and the FATV Board. The people using the system had no say in installing TelVue. They have had 5 months of problems with broadcasting. One of the many problems experienced was with the encoders. A problem with live switching caused the FATV technical staff to install new converters and encoders to get the system to work. They have an 11T system with 12 sources. To do Live programming, they have to go through 3 steps: Switch, Stream and Capture. To do the bulletin they must go through 3 steps as well; “Too many steps to do one thing.” Scheduling programming is cumbersome. Importing programs is incredibly slow. Scheduling signage (bulletin) is also tedious using Playlists. They mentioned that the scroll did not have an end-time, and would run until it was re-set at midnight, which is a problem with them. Although the TelVue technical staff was very responsive, FATV found that they seldom had an answer to their problems. Most issues were fixed by the FATV technical staff without help from TelVue. FATV concluded that they dislike the system very much, and if they hadn’t spent the money to use TelVue, they would trash the whole system. It is not user friendly or intuitive.
