As most of you are aware, Orb facilitates streaming of third party iTv & iRadio channels via Mycast.orb.com.

Off late, we have had Users reporting about being unable to stream some of these iTv & iRadio channels.

We at Orb are trying to make sure that all the channels that we list out there works well for you. However, with over 2000 third party channels it's hard for Orb on its own to constantly check these channels to make sure that they aren't broken. Therefore, we request you to help us to identify all broken iTV/ iRadio channels.

If you happen to find any broken ( unable to stream via Orb ) iTv/ iRadio channel, then please report to us with the following information.

1. Channel Name ( Title )
2. Channel Type: iTv or iRadio
3. Channel Url ( Optional )

Thank you all for your continued support.

I only found a few channels that I can view so far out of the many I tried to open. What do I do with formats that have a question mark (most of them)? I've downloaded all the free codecs I can get my hands on. Also I can't seem to make my custom channels added work. In my case, only those with the icon "r" (For Real Player) under format would play. I don't understand when I've set Windows MP as my default for other formats as well. I tried the channels under South Korea - I can't view them all. Please guide me to make orb work. It might be a simple tweak I need to do.

Here's an iTv channel I'm not able to stream with Orb. I get an "orb.com/codecs" error stream with a generic 0x80004005 code. On the same PC I can stream the channel just fine through TVersity and Windows Media Player. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Thanks,

Doug.

Bigpond Internet TV in Australia aint working with ORB, it works fine when i just go to there site BUT the ORB bigpond links aint working for me

can some one help me please

btw the stream test channel worked for media player & some random channels worked aswell BUT I really want bigpond because its in my country

cheers

Sorry, we tried several ways to find the stream URL in the source of this page (http://www.bigpondtv.com/), without luck. This is a good example of a URL that cannot be used in Orb, most likely the vendor wants you to view it through their site.

Definitely, I will try to search out the broken links of radio and tv channels because, I think orb is one of my favorite community.
