You might also find that applications running in the background, like an
e-mail client or a word processor, can affect the quality and buffering of a
Webcast. You should shut down any programs you aren’t using. You'll be
surprised at the performance boost. Finally, keep your media player software
current. Newer versions of the software have added features, and contain fixes
for any bugs in the previous edition of the application.
Webcasting is rapidly maturing. There’s quite a bit to see
on the Web, and more is always on the way. Who knows, maybe one day your
computer will replace your television!
