A few tips about online video:

-- Streaming video is still a new technology. It requires a fast internet connection, usually cable or DSL, to work properly. Online video will not work with a dial-up connection. For fans who do not have broadband, we will make some of these videos available online at griffinshockey.com and at The Zone periodically.

-- For streaming video, almost all computer systems are set up differently. Depending on your security settings and preferences (ActiveX controls and pop-up blockers), you may have to enable or approve each video before it will run. You can okay each broadcast by right-clicking on the link and selecting the "temporarily allow" button.

-- Some network systems will not allow streaming videos to play, usually in a work environment. If this is the case, you can forward this email to your home or elsewhere to view it.

-- Unfortunately, streaming video is a few years away from looking like TV. If you can avoid watching full screen or stretching the image it will appear more clearly (think smaller but better).

-- Feel free to share these broadcasts with anyone you think would be interested. Just forward this message itself, or copy the player link and paste it into your own email. Be the first to share this new Griffins info with other fans.

-- Some computers may not work well with this type of streaming video (WMV). If you have trouble with your system, let us know via email so we can address these issues. Please let us know what you think and if you want to see other types of highlights.
