The quality of the video clip you are watching mainly depends on two factors: (a) the speed of your Internet connection and (b) the bit rate (speed) of the video clip. The faster the bit rate of the video clip, the better the quality. However, the speed of your Internet connection will limit which video clip bit rate that you can watch. For example, if you only have a 56kbs dial up connection to the Internet, the highest video clip bit rate that you will be able to watch will be 56kbs or less (most likely less as the majority of dial-up connections only get speeds of 28kbs or less due to phone line issues). If you try to watch a video clip with a bit rate of 300kbs over a dial up connection, the video will not play. That is why we offer multiple bit rates for each video clip. Each bit rate is optimized for the different types of Internet connections available (Dial-up/DSL/Cable Modem/T1). As you can see, it is very important that you select the proper video clip bit rate for your Internet connection. For the best viewing experience, we recommend a high speed Internet connection such as DSL or Cable Modem.

It is important to note that even if you have a high-speed (DSL/ Cable Modem/ T1), Internet traffic congestion affects your connection speed and/or video performance. You will get slower or faster speeds at different times depending on peak or off-peak use hours. You may also get slower speeds during the morning and afternoon, but faster speeds late at night when fewer people are online. Also, streaming quality decreases when multiple people share the same Internet connection (e.g. at work or on a home network).
 

For optimum viewing, we recommend the following:

Windows Media Player version 9
Windows 98 Second Edition, ME, 2000 and XP
Apple Mac OS X

Windows Media Player version 6.4
Windows 98 and NT

Click here to upgrade to latest version of Windows Media Player.

To Find Out What Version of Windows Media Player You Currently Have:
1. Start Windows Media Player.
2. Click on Help in the menu bar.
3. Click About Windows Media Player.
4. If you need to upgrade, click here to go to Windows Media Download Center.

The Following Are Some Tips To Optimize Streaming On Windows Media Player.
1. Start Windows Media Player.
2. Click the Tools menu and choose Options.
3. Click the Performance tab.
4. Click "My connection speed is:" and select the appropriate speed for your Internet connection. Select Modem (56 kbps) or a lower speed if you have a 56k dial-up modem connection. Select DSL/Cable (256 kbps) or a higher speed if you have a high-speed connection (DSL, Cable Modem, T1, etc.).
5. Click OK.
6. NOTE: You can change these settings at any time.

Optional Advanced Settings for Windows Media Player:
1. Click the Network tab and select all the protocols: Multicast, UDP, TCP, and HTTP.
2. Click the Player tab, select "Enable automatic codec download", and choose how often you would like to upgrade (i.e., once a day, once a week, or once a month).
 

When you watch a video clip, you watch video files that are sent, or streamed, to your computer over the Internet. The speed at which these files can be streamed varies depending on your computer's "bandwidth". In other words, if you have a high bandwidth connection (i.e. cable, DSL, T1/LAN connection), your computer can receive streaming video at a higher speed than a user with low bandwidth (i.e. modem / ISDN) connection. This also means that a user with high bandwidth can receive larger, better quality video streams.

Daystar Television provides multiple bit rates for each video clip in order to give both high and low bandwidth viewers the best possible viewing experience. The "broadcast settings” button allows you to change between the bit rates for the video clip in order to choose the best bit rate for your computer’s Internet connection.
 

1. If you launch Daystar Television on Windows 98 while other audio applications -- including but not limited to mp3 players -- are running, you may have trouble hearing Daystar Television sound. If this is the case, close your browser and all audio applications. Restart your browser and enter Daystar Television.

2. Click here to go to Windows Media and Firewalls for firewall configuration settings if you are connecting to Daystar Television from work and are behind a firewall.

3. If you are using a Windows Media Player version earlier than Windows Media Player 9, your system should automatically download the required Windows Media 9 codecs.  However, to download codecs successfully, you must have Internet Explorer 3.02 or later installed on your computer, you must maintain Internet access during content playback, and your Internet security should be set to medium. In addition, if your computer is running Microsoft Windows NT®, Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, or Windows Server 2003, you must be logged on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group. In addition, not all codecs are included in a codec download. If your system is unable to download the required Windows Media 9 codecs, you can manually download and install the Windows Media Player 9 codec pack.
Click here to download the Windows Media 9 codec pack for Media Player 6.4

4. Your computer's Internet security options are set at a level too high where your computer may not be able to automatically download the codecs required to view the video. If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, check to make sure that you have selected the medium Internet security settings, which allows signed ActiveX controls to be downloaded with the codecs.
• IE Version 4.0 and up
• Click on the start menu, go to settings, then control panel, then select Internet options.
• Select the Security Tab
• Click on the internet zone and then click on the default level button if it is available
• Once the Slider bar is visible set it to the middle setting which should display "Medium"
Click the "OK" button to apply the changes and close "Internet Options"
 

Some of the digitizing equipment is using Windows Media Version 9. If your computer does not have the version 9 codecs, it will be unable to decode the information sent for the broadcast and thus be unable to provide playback.

The gateway advertisements are digitized with Windows Media Encoder Version 7. This allows the stream to use the older more widely installed, Windows Media Version 7 Codecs this would allow you to only view the gateway and not the actual broadcast.

Two methods are available to fix this issue:

1. Install Windows Media Player Version 9 from http://www.microsoft.com/mediaplayer and select the appropriate download for your operating system.

2. If you are unable to install Windows Media Player 9 due to a legacy operating system or low bandwidth, install the Windows Media 9 Codec pack available from http://www.microsoft.com/mediaplayer. In the drop down box entitled Select Download: change the selection to “Codecs Installation Packages”, and then click the “Download Now” link under the Codec Pack for your Media Player version. This will install the Codecs necessary to decode the information for playback of the Version 9 streams on Version 6.4 and 7.1 Windows Media
