Q: Why am I having problems connecting to the
streams ?
A: The most probable reasons are the following:
1) First of all, if you only don't have video and audio sound
while watching, please be sure that you have installed
Microsoft Media Player

impossible to receive streaming media. Ask your Network
administrator for more information.

can take a while before a channel works. In some cases the
channel won't load at all.

the origin and not on the program that show it, some stations

always stopping and starting.

buffering can be attributed to your Modem connection, your
ISP, the Internet traffic in general, and the station
broadcasting. The most likely culprits are Internet traffic
and the station's server being overloaded. Doing other
Internet intensive work may increase buffering as well. |

Q: At some channels I visit I get "Ready" and
still nothing works.
A: This is a network problem. You may encounter this
phenomenon for one of the following reasons:
1) The server is down or busy. Try connecting to the server
again later.
2) You are not connected to the local area network (LAN) or to
the Internet. Connect to the network or Internet, and then try
again.
3) The link to a certain channel is wrong. If you permanently
get "ready", please report a bad link here.

can't access this program channels, it is "Ready" to try
another channel now. |

Q: Why do I get "Error loading channel
list!" message?
A: If you are using a corporate connection, check with
your system administrator that there are no restrictions on
streaming media. If you are using Poseidon - Live RTV Player
from an office, your company may have a firewall that is
blocking streaming media from being received. Some companies
don't allow streaming media through their firewall as a matter
of policy. Speak to your IT support staff to see what your
company allows and finally check your proxy settings. |
