If you cannot hear sound please click the speaker icon in the bottom right corner of the stream to unmute it.

Can I watch the stream on full screen?
Yes, click the [ ] symbol in the bottor right corner of the video.
I can see video but there is no sound
As a courtesy, the video stream is usually started with the sound muted. This is so you don't accidentally start playing sound in a quiet environment and disturb others.

If you cannot hear sound please click the speaker icon in the bottom right corner of the stream to unmute it.
The streaming is jerky or not smooth
There are many reasons you might not see the stream smoothly. It can be a problem with the transmission, other problems with the internet as the stream travels to the viewer, the viewers internet connection or the device they are watching on.

In most cases it is not something you will be able to correct in the time you have at this moment.

We recommend a download speed of at least 10Mbps. Goto www.speedtest.net to check your speed.

A few suggestions which might help with your problem are listed below:

1. If you are receiving your internet through a modem at home try switching the modem off at the wall, count to 15 and switch it back on.

2. Switch of other devices in the house that may be connected to the modem using internet band width till after the stream has ended.

3. Restart the device you are watching the stream on.
What if there is no live stream available?
In some areas the low levels or total lack of mobile internet service can make live streaming impractical.

In this case a video will be taken of the service and a raw unedited version uploaded to this page for viewing/download later in the day.

Although on most occasions the video is ready for viewing within a few hours of the service there are rare occasions the video may not be available until later in the evening or early the next morning.
