i share the same viewpoint for the Apple people. for so long i have been
looking for proper broadcast software for DSS but going for costly

apple about this but no response came, rightly some people say that they
don't care for users outside US.
if they have given such a good open source project (DSS) on different
platforms, they should must do something for QT broadcaster too.
