I think you're doing a good job, but allow me to comment, if you will... 1. Change your theme song. This is a must... try to get away from a known (and aged) pop variety and consider either making your own (toned down) less repetitive version or using different music selections that are chosen for each episode. Imagine a piece of music about 3 minutes long and using different sections of this work during different breaks of your show. Having the exact same 3 seconds of audio "Hit me baby one more time" can drive one a bit crazy. 2. Don't be afraid to not mention the word "hit" every 30 seconds. I understand you are trying to get your name engrained... but get people to stay with you with your content, not by saying your name 1000 times. 3. Get some wireless mics if you are serious about this...Something like this: http://www.vistek.ca/details/detail_over.aspeCode=157974&TYPE=&Specs=N&Box=N -This will eliminate echo or background noise issues at most filming locations and really give you more freedom on where you can shoot. 4. If I were you, I would streamline my video offerings... Right now you are offering normal, h.264, and iPod versions? Is this right? Since the iPod does hardware decoding of h.264 why not use that and eliminate at least one of the versions.... this has to be killing you guys on encoding time. Anyway, you guys all clearly have a lot of energy and are really excited about doing this and I think that is the #1 ingredient for you to be successful. I am living in Shanghai, China right now and IPTV is my source for everything... I look forward to seeing you guys grow! I'll keep watching! Good luck!
