Troubleshooting Broadcasts on Digitaltalk.com

Thanks for listening to our broadcasts!  Here are some Frequently asked troubleshooting questions/answers:

  1. We recommend that you use Microsoft Media player. There may be others on the market, but Windows Media player appears to be the most reliable. You can download windows media player for free at www.microsoft.com

  2. If you are using a dial up connection, you will likely experience problems listening to the broadcasts consistently. The speed of your slower connection will cause the broadcast to buffer siginificantly. If your dial up connection is less than 56k, you will have problems hearing the broadcasts.   We suggest you look into the many options available now for high speed internet.  Many of the options are as cost effective as dial up and surprisingly affordable now.
  3. Media Player problems: One of the standard problems with media player and downloading new versions of media player is that you need to be sure your version is set to receive all files.  Many times these boxes are not checked by Microsoft, especially on newer versions of media player.  To correct this, open your media player, click on  tools located at the top of the media player window, then click options.  When the options window opens, select the file types tab.  Once the file types tab opens, click on select all, and then click on ok.  By selecting all files, you will now be able to enjoy just about any streaming media on the internet.
  4. Start of Broadcasts: In many cases, if a JV or Freshman game runs late, our broadcast will start later.  In some instances, the earlier games end sooner then expected.  Best rule is to check back on a regular basis just prior to and after the start time if we are not yet on the air.

If you have any further questions, please e-mail me at d1bbscout@yahoo.com  we will attempt to answer your questions as quickly as possible, but obviously will not be able to answer your question during our broadcasts.

You may have noticed the quality of our broadcasts has improved significantly over the last few weeks. Digitaltalk has been converting direct to the internet at some game locations. We are working to improve the quality of our broadcasts each week.  On some road games, we will still need to broadcast via telephone line and that impedes some audio quality, but we still can bring the games to you.

Go Wildcats!!
