Webcast captures content
from popular websites and broadcasts substantial portions of the website to
your computer over the satellite. Packaged websites are commonly
refered to as "channels", and a channel's content can be browsed off-line without
requireing a dialup connection to the Internet. Webcast utilizes
a satellite proxy server, installed during the DirecPC software installation,
to receive and view cached website content. Your Microsoft Internet
Explorer and Netscape Navigator web browsers are automatically configured to
use the satellite proxy server to view cached and Internet content. Double-click
on the DirecPC icon on your system desktop to launch the Electronic Program
Guide (EPG) to learn more about Webcast and the currently available Webcast
channels.
