Wtonolli: /* Using VLC */

'''GusTv''' is an [[IPTV]] pilot project that allows users to access basic cable channels via their wired [[Internet]] connection.

In order to watch television on your computer, you must
* Plug your computer into an [[Ethernet jack]] (IPTV does not work over [[wireless]] at this time).
* Download [[VLC]] from [http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ http://www.videolan.org/vlc/].
* Install VLC. If you are using [[Windows]], make sure to check the box for the [[Firefox]]/[http://www.mozilla.org/ Mozilla] plugin.

==Windows==

===In a web browser===
If you would like to view television from within a [[web browser]] (easier to use)
* Open [[Firefox]]
* Go to [https://gts.gac.edu/tv/tv.php https://gustv.gac.edu/]

===Using VLC===
If you want to view television using VLC (more channels)

'''NOTE: Version 0.8.6 of VLC works Best With GusTv'''

* Open VLC
* Go to View > Playlist
* Go to Manage > Services Discovery > SAP Announcements
* Wait about 30 seconds (if your [[firewall]] asks you to allow VLC to access the network, say OK).
* Click on the plus sign next to SAP Announcements to see channels. Click on �鶹��Ƶ to see local channels or UCTV International to see international channels.
* [[Double-click]] on a channel to view it.
* Go to View > Full screen to view in full screen.
* For the international channels you may get better results if you go to Video > Deinterlace > Bob (that will get rid of the lines you see when there is a lot of motion).

==Mac==

* Go to Window > Playlist
* Go to File > Services Discovery > SAP Announcements
* Wait about 30 seconds (if your [[firewall]] asks you to alow VLC to access the network, say OK).
