There is a thread in techical assistance entitled "Broadcasting LFS" btw...
You say you have IPTV infrastructures with epic realtime encoders ready. Then all you need is a computer to run lfs. I'm sure your equipment can handle some output the computer has (DVI, VGA, HDMI even, composite, s-video...) If you have everything else set up it'll cost the amount of the computer that is running the game for you.
LFS itself only has an option to hide all HUD. There are a few 3rd party programs that ase specifically designed for 'broadcasting' purposes, like TV Director or the more seldom used Race Spectator . Tv Director is better because it has a GUI that allows you to control the cameras manually and it also has race classification graphics. I've also made a Broadcast overlay addon that gives you a more broadcastational feel to your broadcast.

why did you have to go there?
I can't make anything out of that. Perhaps you could choose a bigger font?
Since all the license inspectors were sacked / forced to retire, I suspect it'll turn into a tax for everyone to pay :|
As I said the cable cable and antenna are brand new so I doubt it's in the connections.
How do you earth the antenna properly? That could very well be the case, iirc the reception was better when it wasn't earthed to the chassis

It does but it doesn't really help as the reception is so bad that even the strongest signals are weak.
Car radio (antenna) help
Hai all.
My car radio is driving me mad. Basically I've changed the antenna itself to a new one, I've replaced the antenna cable and even put a signal amplifier somewhere in between. So all of the things you need to get reception are brand new. Yet the reception is really bad. When I'm in the town it works fine and a few channels are good enough to listen but drive 10-15 km away and it's all gone and those few channels you can even get have a lot of white noise.
The radio itself should work, I tested it in another car and came to a conclusion that it was either the antenna cable or the antenna itself that was failing.

Instead of biggering you should mourn the death of watchable F1 programming. The majority of people will not pay to see F1, basically everyone is going to lose interest because it's not 'free' to watch. Then the F1 coverage quality will go down like you wouldn't know and soon you'll have a former floorball referee doing the commentary along with a former high jumper.
That's what happened here anyway

I can not relate but I've heard it's not fun to be the one getting raped.

Normally the files have instructions in them (even the .py file).
You can, as you can see I've released the source with a "do whatever the **** you want"-license.
It's not Chinese
The buttons in LFS work quite uniquely. What you are seeing is too many letters to actually fit in the button, therefore they are just very cramped there. Basically what has happened is boothy was a complete arse and made changes to the tracker. You would have to look up the part that handles reading the actual html code off the tracker website and adjust it to work with the new tracker layout. I might actually do that myself too and post it here, after all I use that same function in other programs so it only needs to be written once.
As I explained it's only a tool to read the Moe Tracker. To be able to use it you need to run the tracker as well. Or alternatively you can figure out how to make it work based only on lfs positions, there is a fine example of how to do that in the pyinsim thread. You can input the position and gap data yourself by modifying the button generation bit - the module called classification: (I changed the variable names to be more distinctive here, don't be scared of that, it's still the same piece of code)
def classification(number):
bookmark = 5
tracker_website = urllib.urlopen("http://tracker.newdimensionracing.com/", "r")
tracker_data = tracker_website.read().split("<td class='teamName'>") # split the whole string into an array
for i in range (1, number):
p = tracker_data[i].split("</td>") # split each member of the array again to get rid of unnecessary html code
p = p[0] # this is now the actual team name

tracker_website.close()
If you don't actually understand what this bit does there is very little I can do to help. You could of course comment out the button parts all together and just print all the strings that are being handled, perhaps that'll give a better impression of what is being done. That said, to utilise any of this you should be able to understand basic list operations plus for and if clauses. That's about all there is.
download the pyinsim.2.0.4.win32.zip file in stead, it has an installer wizard that does everything automatically.
Reading often helps 
You just might...
The same way every other insim program works. Do a /insim XXXXX in lfs, then run the program.
You'll need python 2.7. After installing get the latest pyinsim from here.
Then just open IDLE (Python IDE), open a new file (ctrl+n), c/p the code in, press F5 to run it.
Note that this bit:
will cause infinite IOError unless you comment it out ( highlight the section, Edit->comment out region).
...
As I said yesterday evening it'll probably do no good to try and use it for something as it is. It's not even a good programming example, I wrote the most bits last year about halfway through a course called "programming fundamentals" so you can imagine the quality.

Okay, a few notes though: I've been a bit of an idiot apparently and used a lot of global variables. Packet handling things, connection establishment and so on are stolen from an example posted by DarkTimes.
A few variable names are annoyingly in Finnish.

To use the program you would need the WolleT/Poo fyi / Moe Tracker. Whether you have it or not I can't remember if I've written the tracker url to be configurable or not. It is likely it's not so you would not be able to use it for anything. I made it specifically for gtal, so I don't really see any use for it for anything else 
However, if you read the post above yours you will see THIS LINK to the F1 overlay thing which is in fact what we used in GTAL last time round - I just had written a modified version to pull the results directly from the tracker.
Also, if someone would like I would be quite happy to share the source code for this. It's quite easily readable and modifiable python code*.
* Python is easily readable. The code might not necessarily be so, since often even I can't understand what I have written a few weeks earlier.
