Since you did not say what it was for, I wanted to point it out. Most  
live broadcasts are not live
anyway, they are pre-recorded and made to seem live. Obviously a call  
in show, or a sporting
event needs to be live, but a lecture, concert and so on can be pre- 
recorded.

Miro is designed for background delivered content, not on demand. You  
subscribe to a
"channel", but the people who publish the content control when it is  
made available, and
when you receive it.

So if for example, you were going to do a show on your favorite kernel  
pointers, and allowed people to call up and ask for ones, you would  
have to do it live. But if the show were prepared, or you took  
requests via email, this would do as well.

Note that sporting events don't need to be live either, as long as you  
have not heard the score,
every moment is a surprise, wether it's real time or 30 years old. The  
famous Hindenburg crash
("oh the humanity") was not carried live, most people saw the film in  
a movie theater days, if not weeks, later.
