E.3.2 Accessing ShowMe TV Software
There are two ways to access the ShowMe TV software. The first way does not require any software installation procedure on your part.
1.If you or your system administrator has stored the ShowMe TV player in a mounted, exported file system, you can already access this software without any installation. Consult your system administrator to determine if this applies to you, and if the ShowMe TV player version is correct.
