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.

Is SlowTV available as a podcast?

We will be adding video download options to SlowTV as soon as we can but right now SlowTV is available as an audio podcast. MP3 iTunes
