Aliens' TV

The Aliens have a screen network available that is similarity to humans' TV which allows them to follow the challenges occurring all over their planets.    

How it works

Aliens have a network that everyone living on one of their planets, moons or space stations has access to without having to pay for it. They don't have a continuous broadcast; instead the system works "on demand".   Aliens don't have "official channels"; everything is decentralised and everyone can have their own channel and publish anything, either on a public or private channel. Private channels are only accessible through invitations, while all public channels are accessible to everyone. Publications are a mix of text publications, videos, and forums.
 
 

Equipment

For personal viewing, all Aliens own either a small portable screen the size of a book or a smaller screen that is worn as an arm bracer during everyday life. Some public institutions and restaurants also have a series of big screens attached to walls so as to organise viewing events for ongoing challenges.   The recording is all done by small spherical drones that can float. During challenges, they are programmed so that several drones will follow each challenger to provide different view angles and zoom levels at all time, with viewers able to switch between them at will.

    Such a unique take on the prompt! Really like the strange yet familiar feel of the TV.
