Why does REELR.TV need a Twitter feed to make a live channel?
Feeding the system with twitter data enables us to broaden the possibilities of having good quality live channels taking advantage of the vast user base of twitter. We intend to make an engine of our own to provide those who do not want to use twitter to feed the live engine, but at the moment it is the only way to provide our system with a live feed.

We intended REELR,TV for music purposes, but you can show every single video YouTube allows to embed elsewhere.
Can i upload my own videos to REELR.TV?
No, actually we do not hold user videos, but you can upload your stuff to YouTube and feature it at REELR.TV.
How do i upload videos to YouTube?
First you have to have an account on YouTube. Then, you can read the official YouTube Help Files on uploading here.
Can i put ads on my channel?
Although REELR.TV does not provide a way to do that, you can actually show all the videos YouTube allows to embed elsewhere, even ads if you intend to do so. If you want to display ads you should upload the content to YouTube and feature it on your REELR.TV channel.
Is REELR.TV a Twitter client?
No, REELR.TV is far from being a Twitter Client. REELR.TV uses Twitter to gather the data of what people is listening to, so they can show it as a video playlist. There is obviously a tweeting function to make your followers know what you are watching on REELR.TV and to share your videos and playlists on Twitter, but our tweeting engine does not much than that.
