1. What is SLCN?

SLCN.TV is the world's first virtual TV network, bringing Second Life residents entertaining shows like Tonight Live with Paisley Beebe, Metanomics, SL Hockey and Simboarding. We have also produced a wide range of special programs such as Miss SL Universe, The Best Practices in Education Series, and even press events for the Transformers and Die Hard film launches.

SLCN.TV reaches a broad demographic with an established range of entertainment, sports and in-depth business shows. Every show is broadcast live as it happens, then archived on the website, published on iTunes as a podcast, and added to our eight (that's right eight!) inworld channels running 24/7.

12. I can't see the video but others can, how can I fix this?

There could be a variety of reasons why you are not seeing the video.

A few suggestions are:

1. Check you have video enabled by looking to see if there is a Video play option in the lower right of your client window to the right of the chat window.

If there is no video icon then you need to go into Edit, Preferences, Video & Audio and check the Enable Video option.

2. Check you have the Quicktime player installed.

If you don't then visit the Apple Quicktime download page. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
