A Little Downtime

It’s been a quiet week in Lake, whoops, wrong blog, sorry folks. Well, it is true that not much happened here this week so we thought we’d take this opportunity to show off our Video On Demand Player. If you haven’t taken advantage of this technology to watch whatever you want, when you want, on our website you don’t know what you’re missing.

In addition to flexibility, the player we use has some really nice features that enhance the viewing experience. If you want to skip ahead in a video, or take a break and continue watching later, you should take advantage of the chapter function. (You can also move ahead by dragging the play bar underneath the video but most shows have chapters every 15 minutes which can be more precise.) Click on the 2nd tab underneath the search bar to see the chapters for any program. Then simply click on the chapter you want to watch. Videos under five minutes don't have chapters but three hour ones have many. You can scroll down through the chapters even though you can only see six of them at a time. The same is true for the "Videos" and "Categories" menus---you can scroll down through them, as well, so don't limit yourself to the nine or so categories you can see at first. Finally, have you noticed the small arrow, in a circle, located to the right of the titles in the “Videos” tab? Try clicking on one and you’ll discover that it’s a link to a related website. That makes it easy to find out more about whatever you were watching.

We hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Keep checking back here for more interesting tidbits!
