Spyders.TV

[Todd&Cat]

I explained my idea to Lamont today and ask if I could make a post on the forum here when I get ready to air the 1st beta show of (The Spyder Show @ Spyders.TV) so that you as spyder people could watch and give some feed back. I don't know about you but I've always liked some visual time and this show would contain input from the viewers by chat, Skype, and other means. This a show about all of you aired once a week for 60 min. on a given day and the shows would archived for those who can't what the live stream. I have two Spyders (RS & RT ) that would be used as live demos for spyder tutorials from operation to show a lot of you what's inside and to know what we speak of when trying to explain things. Many of you would be invited to be a guess on the show and to participate in round table discussion. I had planned to attend Spyder events and to stream them live so those unable to attend see them live and could feel connected be able to communicate live with the participants and not have to wait after its all over. I never in my wildest dream wanted to promote anything on Spyderlovers because there is nothing to promote. I have no sponsors or advertisers no do I want any. I pay for all of this myself and I was doing all this for the Spyderlovers. Not just Spyderlovers will be watching this. I will be streaming this show to six (6) CDNs. I been sitting here in my studio reading the post on Spyderlovers and from what I'm reading you Spyderlovers are not ready for this show. I have 4 other show on a weekly basis that take enough time for me to manage and yes maybe I need to concentrate my efforts else where. Ryde those Spyder Safetly

I think its great that you are doing a live steaming TV web show My issue is that you are calling your show SPYDERLOVERS TV as was posted on another thread. I noticed that you edited your original post to start this thread and are you now Calling your show SPYDER TV ?. You could also give Spyder Lovers web site some exposure on your show. JMHO

So what is it Spyders.TV or Spyderlovers.TV? I got no problem with Spyders.TV but I do have a problem with Spyderlovers.TV like you told me on the phone.

You might be singing a different tune if this was your web site and source of income. It's just not ethical to be promoting another site here even if it's non-profit if he doesn't have the site owners permission.

Before you get sued please read my post.


I love your idea of streaming TV of Spyders, but if you call it Spyder TV you will be sure to get sued then. That full name is already taken by a huge company (datacolor) with lots of money for lawyers. Link below. Maybe if you start a thread for help coming up with a more appropriate name, we would all jump onboard and help you out. I sure would watch it.

Another venue for getting information/publicity out sounds like a good idea ...too bad it doesn't sound like something mutually beneficial for all parties could be worked out. Sounds like it should be a win/win situation for everyone, not something that gets everyone's hackles up. After all, our love for all things related is supposed to be our common factor uniting us, not dividing us into different factions. Maybe you guys can still figure out something for the future. (Perhaps a with and liquid refreshments will do the trick).

i have no problem with lamont's view, but it's how everyone else jumps in and starts pounding on todd/cat for wanting to promote the spyder in a different way.

[MouthPiece]

Before I weigh in, I want to get more input. However, I will say that the name "Spyderlovers" has become synonymous with Lamont. It has been his brain child and deservedly so. Lamont has invested his life to this forum and maintaining the integrity of it. I can fully understand his concern about what may be going on. I would urge that the name SpyderTV be used by this individual with no mention of lovers.

TOTALLY dig the idea . Only thing was using the spyderlovers name with out providing Lamont some kind of compensation . BUT that issue seems to have been resolved according to the posts above. But onto the fun part, where and when can we watch it !!!!

[RoadHammer]

Geez just call it YFACTOR.tv or spiderluvrs.tv and Give Lamont a spyderlovers.com banner in the webshow somewhere.. It really is this simple you know. From what i understand todd/cat was intent on attending the bbq's and other spyderlovers.com gathering's and streaming it live.. Can't some of you guys figure that out ?? It all comes back to promote Lamont in the end.

This is why I made the comment that Spyderlover members are not ready for this show. If you had read it correctly you would have read show name "The Spyder Show" @ Spyder.TV. I own the domain Spyders.TV

[Smokinspyder]

were just coming to the aid of Lamont he seemed that this issue frosted his hind quarters a little bit . I have yet to meet Lamont but from everyone's opinion of him thats really all i need to know .We love the spyder.tv idea and Y factor or spyder.tv would rock it hard to ( sorry to speak for everyone on the we love the spyder.tv idea )

I doubt that you will improve your ratings by insulting your potential audience. What's with that?

I tried to send you an e-mail and Gmail says it was rejected...

Anyway, first I hope you know I was joking on the other thread...Secondly I would like more information about your plans...

[M109Dreamer]

I would watch it. I try and learn as much as I can, as being a new owner. My view is that, isn't there a way for both sides to be happy. I don't see how they couldn't get together and figure something out, communication and having an open line to that is key? I believe with such a following here that I have noticed in a short time it can only help grow the show in a positive direction for all parties. I wish you the best of luck, and look forward to viewing it.

[Firefly]

With due respect to Todd&Cat ----- they have a total of 48 posts out here - and I don't see any posts with 'how to' pictures or videos like many of us have done ---- yet you want to do 60 minutes a week about the Spyder?

Maybe it's supposed to be geared toward really new owners and just basic Spyder stuff-- but what's that take-- 60 min?

Just not sure this is being well thought out.

Seems to me that making 'how to' videos instead of a 'show' might be a better way to go--- then you can share them out here as well as on your 'spyder tv' show ---- assuming Lamont wants them here and sees value in them...

Just some food for thought.

Good luck with things.......

[ARtraveler]

This is getting verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry interrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrresting. I'm not ready for my usual full page yet.

The big issue so far--is you should not be using someone elses name to promote your project unless you have legal permission to do so. That implies Lamont's endorsement of your TV show. That is pretty scarry if he is not able to exercise control over things with may not be good.

I do note that he has allowed you to post your comments--even though the two of you are not in agreement. The answers above also seem to be on both sides of the fence.

[Bob Denman]

Todd&Cat,
Good luck with this project and I hope that you succeed. Lamont's concerns about the name of the show hold some validity... He has worked very hard to build a successful site and community here. If you were to use the name "Spyderlover" and then (Heaven Forbid!!) not put out a product that was up the the standards that he has put forth here, it might damage the reputation of this site . Would he have any recourse or control?? Just my penny's worth...
I really do hope that you succeed in your endeavor and I'll watch if I can...

[Todd&Cat]

After our team reviewed all the post about this future show and thinking about all the hours we spent making the 31 HD videos, the two sets for the shows and all the large scale individual schematics of all the electrical systems and the mapping of the Can-bus signals and colored photos which was the culmination of 7 months work we came to the mutual conclusion and decision time to put this project in the can and direct our resources and energies in a new direction. We all agree that we had fun and learned a lot and bear no ill will. From Sam, Charles, Barbara, Catherine and myself we would like to wish you safe riding so get out their and ride those Spyders and be SAFE!


It's in the can Max

[ThreeWheels]

Why is everyone jumping so ugly on Todd & Cat.

Lamont made a very valid point about the site name and Todd&Cat seem to have accepted the criticism and changed the name of their enterprise.

Now instead of TWO sites happily promoting the Spyder we have acrimony between both parties.

Are any of you guys in Congress??
