Question: I want to stream your station over the Internet. But what do I need?
Answer: To successfully stream you need an Internet connection of at least 56 Kbps and the latest Adobe Flash Player.

Question: The player says it is connecting but never connects.
Answer: Our servers could be down or we could have too many people accessing our streaming feed at one particular time.  Try again in a few minutes and if it still does not work, send us an e-mail.

Question: The player says it is buffering frequently and interrupts your live stream.
Answer: There are delays introduced by the congestion on the Internet and sometimes by the speed of your Internet connection. Unfortunately, there is not much that we can do to rectify this problem. If you are on dial-up this may occur frequently.

Question: The player says it is waiting and then never connects.
Answer: Close your browser, wait 5 minutes and then try re-connecting. Sometimes we restart our streams and this causes the current streams to go into a 'waiting' state.

Question: Does your stream work on Windows, Mac and other platforms?
Answer: Yes. Our stream works on Windows, Macs and flavours of Unix, however we only support it on Windows and the Mac operating system.
