Listen to a LIVE Show Stream on Desktop Devices:

There are 2 ways:

1.Click the gold 'Listen Live - All Devices' button at the top of of our home page for live stream listening

2. Click the gold 'Listen Live - All Devices 2' button at the top of of our home page for live stream listening

In 98% of the cases one of the above two ways should work for you. If not, you will have to do a little more (and we greatly appreciate that) but please understand that every computer is different, the software installed on your computer is different, your computer security system may be different and even your computer speakers and sound cards are different - add to that Internet Browsers that are constantly upgrading and the changing of privacy issues which have become a high priority and you can see why it may take just a little time to get us going the first time. Don't give up. If you have exhausted all the methods on this entire page and its still not working call us at 800-555-5453 and we will try to get you operational or at least point you in the right direction for your next step.

Internet Browser Permission to Access our Radio Stream May Be Required

When you click our 'Listen Live- All Devices' or 'Listen Live - ALL DEVICES 2' buttons we have to access your website address to send back our stream so you can hear it. So the first time you access us, you may have to give your Browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google OR Google Chrome) permission (access authority) to allow our stream to play. Dependent upon your browser, the steps to do this may be different. Search your browser's help for directions if messages pop up or you can't hear or access our stream. Here's some hints:

If you just keep clicking "download free," it's free, which is what I did. At the end, there are offers to buy special extra stuff, but I bought nothing and can now listen to healthylife.net like a charm. I am so thrilled.

General Questions We've Been Asked So Far:

The volume is too low. What can I do?
Try turning up the volume on Windows Media Player and/or your PC speakers. Sound cards differ from PC to PC. We unfortunately do not have control of the quality of your sound card

Sometimes I can't hear the call-ins and sometimes I can. What can I do?
Try turning up the volume on Windows Media Player and/or your PC speakers. We unfortunately do not have control of the quality of incoming guest telephone lines coming into the station. Sometimes the lines are weak, just as they are in terrestrial radio.

Sometimes I can't see your listen live buttons or only part of your home page. What do I do?
There are several reasons that could make this occur. It could be a software problem like a setting in Internet Options (make sure that your security options are set to medium) or it could be your internet provider (try unplugging the electrical cord on your DSL modem and replugging it in to reset the modem and line, then turn off your computer and turn it back on) or, most likely, you have Norton Internet Security, a seperate software package with its own seperate icon, which sometimes gets bundled with Norton Anti-Virus which can prevent you from receiving some of the images or audio files. (Disable the Norton Internet Security package ONLY...NOT YOUR Norton Anti-Virus.)

Why can't I receive the radio show on my PC?
Make sure you have the correct Internet Browser and that your browser is configured correctly. We recommend Windows Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher or Netscape 4.0 or higher. Download Silverlight.

Why are there stops, buffering, gaps or poor sound quality when I am listening? Why do I sometimes get a delay when trying to connect to your radio shows?
This is usually caused by your Internet Provider (e.g., AOL, Verizon, Earthlink, Google). It is because of stress, strain or the availability of the bandwidth they have allocated for Internet connectivity. It can also be caused by congested lines which are being accessed by more users than your Internet Provider can handle or it could be that you are running too many applications on your computer at the same time that you are trying to listen to a radio show. If you are on a LAN network the number of users and/or PCs could be the cause. In most cases this condition is almost always temporary, just try again.

How can I access your radio shows through a firewall?
If you are using Windows Media Player, you will have to make the following changes to your Windows Media Player Configuration:
Windows Media Player 7 (PC) Click on Tools, Select Options, Click Network, Locate Proxy Settings, Double Click HTTP Browser, Select Use browser proxy settings, Click OK, Click OK
Windows Media Player 6.3 (MAC) Click on Preference Menu, Select Edit, Select Use Proxy for HTTP Streaming, Enter the name of your proxy server and the port number. Contact your Network Administrator if you do not know what to enter.

Sometimes I can't get your archive shows to play. What do I do?
This is usually because you need to hit your refresh button. We periodically are adding, changing and deleting archived shows. To make sure you are on a CURRENT archive page, hit your refresh button, this usually solves the problem.
