How to view our video

We want to make the video viewable for as many people as possible. We send out our video at speeds that should be easily handled on Bright House Cable or DSL.

If you can view YouTube videos, then your computer has the software to watch our video. If your computer does not have the required software, you will be prompted to install Flash, and / or Java. The installations only take a minute and are pretty much automatic.

If you see the video, audio and chat, but the video freezes or goes black once in a while, then here are some things you can do to improve your reception.:

• Close down all other programs. This frees up your processor and memory so your computer can keep up with the video.


• On a PC, look down at the clock in the lower right hand corner, If there are Icons to the clock's left, other than speaker and Internet connection, right click them and select exit if available. In particular exit the programs that check mail, search you drives, check for a camera.


• If you are on a wireless connection, and a wired Ethernet connection is available use the wired connection.


• If you are on a wireless connection, move closer to the wireless router to get a stronger signal.

Please note: If the video pauses once in a while when we play back prerecorded video or video on demand, but works when we are , then the problem is due to the Internet being busy. We are working on ways to improve that. You can tell it is playing prerecorded content if you see only "ON-AIR" at the bottom of the video screen. When you see "ON-AIR ", you should not experience any freezing. If you do, try closing you browser and go to our page again.

Growing

When we started this venture, just one month ago, you would have a hard time finding us on the web.
This morning I logged into the Livestream site, selected the sports category and looked for the most popular channels for the period covering the last 24 hours. Out of the 835 channels in that category, we ranked 17th in viewer minutes.

We had up to 135 viewers with 48 active chatters having a lively discussion.

Every day, we see an increase in the number of viewers.
As we work out the kinks in putting this channel together, we really appreciate the viewers who have watch us grow. We will continue to improve the WebCam channel.

Webcam Adds Another Element to Broadcasts

I found this on the TallasseeTimes.com web site at http://www.tallasseetimes.com/
I'll repeat it here, and thank the TallasseeTimes.com staff for the nice reporting.

Staff Report
WTLS radio has been broadcasting Tallassee High School football games since 1954. Initially, the games were played on Saturday mornings only. In 1999 the broadcasts were aired live on Friday nights.
In the 2000's, games have been available through the internet, allowing people to listen anywhere in the world. Bright House Networks Cable TV Channel 15 also airs the broadcast, which begins at 6:00 with a one-hour pregame show and concludes with the "Scoreboard Show" at 11:00.
This season, a webcam has offered those who can not attend games on Friday nights, an option to view the action in real time. The web channel from WTLS, in conjunction with the Tallassee Times, is called Tallassee Times TV. It debuted during the preseason game with Tallassee and Wetumpka.

Other offerings include "Football Fridays," the weekly show with Tallassee Head Football Coach Rodney Dollar shot on location at ET's Subs and Salads on Gilmer Avenue at noon each week during football season. Plans are to produce other programs for the world wide web. WTLS hopes to have its daily morning shows; The Way of the Cross and The Wake-Up Call, on-line soon.
All programs are being saved to a directory. The on-demand library will allow people to watch recorded programs at their leisure. Since being launched less than two weeks ago, there have been more than 30,000 hits on the site.
