Hi Tony,

The technology used to run the stream is very different to that of Skype, so
I am very confident that it will work.

Regards,

Stuart.

Hi Stuart, 
 
Really trust that the stream works Saturday! 
 
I know that Skype was problematic for you last year! 
 
Wishing you all the best for a successful cast. . 
 
Tony

        Hi Flor,
        
        Yes, I know it looks strange, but the type of encoder we're using
        broadcasts using the mp3 file extension. I can assure you that mp3
        works!
        
        Stuart.
