    a) Go to url http://www.dslreports.com/stest
    b) Click on "Test speed to XXX" (pick server which is closest to you)
    c) Wait for connection speed test to finish. Identify the download speed indicated. Make sure your download speed is more then 400 kbps to see low resolution video or more than 600 kbps to receive high resolution video.

    My connection gets dropped

    Connection may get randomly dropped because of various issues like your connectivity issue or any issue at server side. Best option to correct the same is go back to live site and reconnect.

    Page Not Found Error

    This error typically means you are not connected to internet. To identify whether you are connected to internet or not, please go to any public site like http://www.google .com. Check if you are connected to the site.
    If you identify that you are able to connect to public sites but not to nirankari server, then close all your browsers, clear your cache and cookies and reconnect to server. If problem persists, contact internet team by sending email to live@nirankari.org

    Video Is not clear

    The video broadcast quality is based on the speed of internet connection from samagam ground. This may be of varying quality from event to event.

    Make sure you are viewing the live event using broadband connection and your download speed is more then 400 kbps. Use the steps above to check the connection speed. Identify your connection speed, your windows media player version and report problem with the above information.

If you do not have high bandwidth available then you should attempt to view samagam from Archived Samagam page.
