Freewire TV
Frewire TV provides multi channel digital TV over ResNet to your computer. If you want to try Freewire TV, please:
- Turn on the TV signal to your room using My ResNet
- Download the Freewire application from the Freewire website
If you receive a message that 'channels are off air' on all channels then make sure that Freewire is available in your residence and you have switched on the TV signal with My ResNet.
Problems with the ResNet security checker on some Windows systems
The ResNet security checker seccheck.exe does not run correctly on Windows XP 64-bit edition and some, but not all, non-English language versions of Windows. In particular we have seen problems with Hungarian and Polish versions of Windows, but there may be others.
We'd like to fix these problems and are working on it, but it is tricky as we don't have access to all the foreign language Windows versions. In the meantime, please see ResNet knowledgebase article 23 for some instructions to do it manually.
If you need help, please phone the ResNet Help Desk on 89001 from your room. It is now much easier to get through than it was earlier in the week.
