Real.com Message Service

The new RealPlayer tries to keep you up to date in many ways. It automatically updates your Live Stations list as well as your Channels and Channel Headlines. This way you always have the most accurate list possible of available content out on the Web.

As a completely new service, RealPlayer now also offers a way to keep informed about events and information in several categories with the Real.com Message Service.

Real.com Message Service is actually two services. You can choose to subscribe to either service when you install RealPlayer or change your selections later.

Real.com News and Entertainment Flashes such as breaking news or live concert events, are selected from your Content Preferences tab.

Real.com Product Flashes such as Tips and Tricks or special offers, are selected on your Upgrade Preferences tab.

A Message bar will appear in your Player. The bar will let you know what category of Flash you've received. For instance, if you see a lightbulb with the words "Did you know?" after it, you've received a Tips and Tricks Message with information about how to use one of the many features of your Player. Just click the Message bar to see the new Flash.

Flashes will not interfere with your listening or viewing experience. You choose when to watch the Flash after it has arrived.
