DTV: Internet TV via RSS

Very cool. The folks over at Participatory Culture have released the QuickTime based DTV Mac Client:

Internet TV is Open and Independent
DTV is a new, free and open-source platform for internet television and video. An intuitive interface lets users subscribe to channels, watch video, and build a video library. Our publishing software lets you broadcast full-screen video to thousands of people at virtually no cost. The project is non-profit, free and open source, and built on open standards. A Windows version of DTV and a full website are well underway and will arrive in the next several weeks.

I've just been browsing around and it looks like they are off to a great start. Nice to see that they actually have a Mac client before the Windows client! I'd expect Apple will do this with iTunes but why wait?
