I decided to check what all the fuss was about, as I initially thought
people were just been picky, but yes the advertisements are really intrusive
and continuous and put me off from visiting the site again. I think most
people understand the need for advertisements but you should be allowed to
mute them. You should consider using another streaming service and I think
most people won't be going back to the site in its current form.

Subject: Sea-eagle LIVE clarification re ads
Hi,
The ad still shows on that page - I think that UStream shows a preroll the
first time you view.
It's worth noting that this project has been very difficult to get to this
stage. An immense amount of time and money has been spent, particularly by
volunteers, John Irvine, Geoff Hutchinson and Judy Harrington. We pay for
the upload bandwidth to get this onto the web and there is a constant
investment of time and hardware by the volunteers to document activities,
archive HD video and promote the system for conservation.
It would only be possible to bring this amazing spectacle to you, with the
help of the advertisers that support UStream. It's incredible that we can
even do this now - when just a couple of years ago, we were talking about
literally thousands of dollars a month to transmit this kind of content to
the web.
I think the guys at BASNA have done a great job. Well done! I know I will
log in every day (as will my kids) and watch these chicks grow. This support
for BASNA will help ensure the project's success year on year. As for the
ads - when they are on TV, we just walk out and make a cuppa then come back
when the action starts!
Regards,
Simon.

Bill et al,
You can watch the WBSE cam , ad free, at
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sea-eagle-cam . There are several other live
streams of bird subjects, including Molly the (Barn?) Owl sitting on eggs,
which I am watching as I type. She is standing up now and having a good
stretch and scratch and I can clearly see the eggs.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

Nice one Simon.
I followed the link and got a loud commercial for some pain killer, which I
was able neither to skip nor mute, which was embarrassing as the soundtrack
is of a woman moaning, which didn't go down well here in my office
environment. I closed the window after about 30 seconds or so, being unable
to bear any more. I never got to the WBSE, which I assume would have
started after the Neurofin commercial.
I can probably tolerate banner ads in the corner of my screen, but this? No.
Just no.
Bill
