About The Internet Radio

The Internet Radio requires a high-speed Internet Service provider connection not included with eClipseScan. High-speed internet service may not be available in your area via phone lines or cable, but wireless alternatives exist in most locations such as cell phone based Internet access service and Satellite Internet access service. Consult the yellow pages or phone book to find out about the high-speed Internet services available in your area.

Important Note: - eClipseMedia-Server Internet radio reception can only be as reliable as your Internet service connection. Slow or Intermittent Internet access service may cause unreliable radio reception and operation.

Also, it is not uncommon for internet radio stations to temporarily go out of service for maintenance, change their internet address (URL) or terminate service all together, so IRTI cannot guaranty the preprogrammed radio stations included with eClipseScan will work indefinitely. Periodically, software updates may be available that will update and change the pre-programmed radio station list. These software updates may be purchased and installed from a CD or may be available in the future as an online download.

Some Internet radio stations use custom audio formats or specialized tools to access and play the station. These stations may not work with eClipseScan, however, if the station uses the standard resources included with Windows Media player the Internet should be compatible with eClipseScan’s Internet Radio.
