Icons The Live Broadcasts page shows stations and streams that can be
requested and played. Each item has its own icon and is preceded by a
channel number.
Custom icons can be assigned by an administrator to each station.
A station may, or may not, have programming data.
This icon denotes standard live streams. For example TV channels,
without programming data, may have this icon.
This icon denotes rich media presentations (those that have both
video and PowerPoint slides, for example). See the
VBPresenter
User Guide for more about rich media presentations.
This icon denotes live streams from a DVD, VCR, or other device
(for example a satellite receiver) that can be controlled from the
Portal Server. See Controlling Live Streams on page 13 for details.

to scroll up or down through the entries. You can also scroll up or down
through the entries by using a mouse wheel or standard keyboard keys
such as Page Up and Page Down.

certain instances where the video links to a non-MPEG video file, an
external player, such as Windows Media Player, Real Player, or
QuickTime Player, may launch.
