LinkTV [1], a channel on DISH and DirecTV satellite networks, makes its
show Mosaic [2] available daily via RSS [3]. The video files are
256kbps or 56kbps mpeg4 and are hosted by archive.org. The show is a
half hour of translations of TV airing from a variety of Middle Eastern
TV news channels. Its quite good offering a very different perspective
on events there than you get from US TV news, of course a healthly
amount of media literacy is required. Clips vary from Israeli state run
Arabic broadcasts, to a Hezbollah controlled station, to more secular,
Westernized broadcasters from the United Arab Emirates.
I believe its the only RSS feed available with links to video of a daily
show that is broadcast. It does *not* use the enclosure tag to make the
video files available, instead the link it provides popups a browser
window which plays the file inline with the QT plugin.
