Thread: Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly IS bhuz tv?

I was pregnant when this was starting up, and dropped off the bhuz scene for a couple years. Now I'm trying to understand what Bhuz tv is, exactly? How does it work, what is it's purpose, who appears on it, can anyone submit things or are they solicited, etc...

Thanks for being patient and educating me--might be a good idea to put a sticky note in this forum with this information so that new folks (or old folks who have no clue like me) can figure out what it is?

Don't worry; I'm confused by it, too.

Hmm. Maybe it's top-secret... especially since no one has responded with a description?

Bhuz TV was introduced shortly after the last upgrade. It's an on-demand service that gives you access to the library of videos they maintain. I assume Bhuz makes a deal with the video owner to license the content for streaming or download, but I couldn't guess who approaches whom to initiate the process. I haven't used it, so I really don't know much more than that.

Ahhhh.... Thank you dear!

I found some old e-mails from when the project was launched.

That's all I've got. I'm not sure what it says about the success of the project that folks who have used it haven't chipped in here. (Surely someone has tried it?) Or maybe the thread just slipped through the cracks.

Hmmm, sounds like I'm not the only one who was wondering what it was! Thanks Tourbeau!

Hi! so sorry I didn't respond this post earlier. I am actually planning to add to the Bhuz.tv library very soon, and I hope that this year Bhuz.tv really grows. Bhuz.tv is actively seeking new videos, so if you or someone you know have made professional videos, please contact me to see if your videos would be appropriate for Bhuz.tv. Bhuz.tv is a paid video download site - i.e. instant gratification, no waiting for your dvd to come in the mail!

any other questions?

so, I'm still not clear!

Is this streaming videos that have already been released as DVDs? Is it performances, or instructional, or both?

so far it is mostly instructional videos that have been released as dvds, but we hope to have many different types of videos later this year.
