The expirment has ended, not in failure, but in enlightenment. I knew when we started that the computer may not be sufficient for the task, and after many frustrating broadcasts, we have pulled it down.. There were problems with buffering, dropped signals and other anomiliesso we disconnected. We are truely sorry for this inconvience. If anyone wants to donate to the cause, we will issue a receipt.

Vista / Windows 7. Just so you know, the laptop we were using was an older HP G60/Windows7 - 2Ghz Pentium dual core, 3GB Ram, unknown amount of shared video memory and our DSL upload speed tested at .43Mbps (which I suppose means 430 Kbps). Someday we can afford to upgrade everything.
You can still see past video that has been saved to livestream or go to our website at alcofnavarre.com and watch the archived Sunday Morning services or even just listen to all the services.
