How do you get your news vision back to the office?

Up till now, Im using the Sky News Digital Video Network at all the racetracks here in Australia.
These let me play out in real time from the DSR570

But, the camera vision is decidedly SOFT and fuzzy when it gets broadcast. Its composite out, into an analogue to SDI converter then into the DVN box.
At the office, they tell me the vision is fine.

Plan 2 for the near future is to use firewire out of the camera into a DV to SDI converter, then into the DVN box at the track.

Plan 3, for those times i’m nowhere near a racetrack in the near future, is to ingest into a laptop, then upload to Dropbox using a tethered 4G phone. I get 10Mbps with this.

Plan 4, is the FTP server at 91kbps..:mad:

I would love a store and forward like Dejero or LiveU… but the costs… 😮

So… whats your best way of getting the news vision back to the office?
