Here is what you will need to listen and to watch live content via your computer -
A FREE
Windows Media Player
or a FREE
Realplayer.
Most Internet broadcasters use a version of these two technologies.
If a different technology is used, information should be provided via that broadcaster's web site.
Also, you will need at least a 28.8 modem connection or faster.
How do I listen or watch?
In order for you to enjoy audio and video programming over the Internet,
you will need to have special software called a "player" loaded on your computer.
The player software does all the work of taking the audio and video and translating
it into a format that you can hear and watch on your computer.
This technology is called streaming audio and video. There are two main streaming
technologies to deliver programming to you.
The RealPlayer is from
RealNetworks
and the Windows Media Player
is from Microsoft.
If you are using Netscape or another browser, you will need to get the
RealPlayer by RealNetworks and the NetShow player by Microsoft installed on your
machine.
Dont worry, both players are free. If you already have them, you are ready
to listen to or view any content from a station that provides live content.
To listen via TvRadioWorld, look for the
symbol located on pages listing stations with web sites.

If you are unable to receive audio or video content from a stations, there could
a problem with your receiving computer, a network congestion problem from the
Internet itself, or a technical problem with that broadcaster receiving the feed
from the source and redistributing it on the Internet.

Both sites provide ample support for installing and troubleshooting their own products.
Remember, most problems will occur during setup and installation procedures. Please refer
to the two help sites listed above. Most other errors will occur because of
Internet traffic, so if this is the case, patience is important.
