ADDING INTERNET RADIO STATIONS WD010-1-2 12/22/2003

Listen to the New Stations

Select the station to playback while in the Radio Guide by either pressing the Select button, or the Play button while the station is highlighted. The station will begin playback by first locating the station, connecting to the server, buffering the data, then playing. If the station is not available, a message will be displayed on the screen indicating that the “Station Is Not Available”.

Uh oh, “Station Not Available”?

There are several reasons why an Internet radio station is not available. At any time, the radio broadcaster may decide to no longer stream over the Internet, or the radio broadcaster may also select to change formats and no longer deliver a stream that can be played back by the FireBall. Escient will work hard to guarantee the quality of the stations that are provided in the Radio Guide, however, there can be no guarantee to those station created by the users.
