the signals to Time-Warner Cable, Grande Communications, AT&T U-verse and
Livestream Content Delivery Network for Internet distribution.
On the Time-Warner
cable system AISD-TV is available on channel 22. In order to see the channel
you will need either a modern digital TV set or the Time-Warner cable set top
box. With a digital TV set, you will need to set up or scan the TV channels.
The actual channel is 10.22. Some TV sets may scan this at another channel such
as 10.7. With the Time-Warner set top box the channel is mapped within their
system to channel 22. The channel is available on this system in standard
definition (SD) only.
On the Grande
Communications cable system AISD-TV is available on channel 22. It is
currently available only on their analog part of the system and can be viewed
on channel 22 using older analog TV sets, newer digital TV sets and with or

On the web, AISD-TV is available at aisdtv.blogspot.com. Here you can find the full time stream of
AISD-TV and the collection of on–demand shows of most all AISD-TV productions.
The stream is Web High Definition (HD), but is also adjustable for Internet
bandwidth availability. This same stream is also available on the school
district’s main website at: austinisd.org/board-webcasts.
The site currently is intended for viewer’s access to live board meetings and
does so by featuring AISD-TV full time stream.
For teachers, students and staff, within school district
facilities, in addition to some of the above, there is access to AISD-TV via
the school district’s MediaCAST system web application. It is located at aisdcontent.austinisd.org . Currently
it is best viewed in Internet Explorer and most versions of Safari. From the
home page in MediaCAST go to the Digital TV tab and select AISD HD. Your may
need to download Microsoft Silverlight in order to view the Windows Media
stream. This is a lower resolution Web HD stream.
