  • Internet Audio and Video is continuously advancing technology. While it is constantly improving, transmission is still subject to Internet traffic congestion, web server loading, and the load on your Internet Service Provider. The REAL video system transmits audio and video files over the Internet by compressing them so that they are much smaller than other video transmission systems or CD or DVD files. As advances occur, we will update our servers. If you have any questions, please contact us. Tune in often.
