WorldTV99 does not generate videoes - Dah!. It taps into video source and that is ALL it does. If the video source is DOWN, for whatever reason, the links will NOT work. See below:

Most of the USA channels in WorldTV99 I have subscription AND running a risk of getting spam mails. Because this TV streaming thing is also new to the TV stations, they routinely change to adapt to newer standards and "better" broadcast. Some maintain broadcast during the transitions, most just stop it for awhile... You got the picture.

If the link says "buffering...." but that is no video/audio, it means the source is correct, but it is NOT broadcast.
BTW, if you stared at the screen patiently, you should see the black screen turned dark purple, (it is very subtle, not everybody can see it) sometimes, that is another sign, that the link IS working, but the source is NOT broadcasting. WorldTV99 is trying hard to stream, but no cigars.

When? I got this email a couple weeks ago, not that I dig out something from 200 yrs ago.
How many? around 1 per couple of weeks, I directed these to my spam filter.

I HAVE NO idea why I need to spend my energy on topics like this other than plain frustration.
