Recommended system requirements:

Broadband connection with 500+ Kbps

Macromedia Flash Player 7.0+ plug-in

Windows XP or higher

Mac OS X 10.3 or higher

A modern web browser like Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer 6 or higher

If your computer system and internet connection do not satisfy the specifications above, you may not be able to watch SlowTV.

 

What if video playback skips?

If you notice that video playback on blip.tv is skipping you can try pausing the video to let it download fully, then resume playing when it has completed downloading.

Flash video makes big demands on your processor and internet connection during the download phase, and this can cause playback to skip.

Skipping is worse if you have lots of other programs open on your computer at the same time as you're playing the video.
