My ChannelsChannels

Channels are more than links to your favorite premium content. RealPlayer retrieves channel headlines on a regular basis from providers while you’re connected to the web. Holding your mouse over a Channel will display the current Headline. You can even set the Headlines to scroll automatically.

If you’re following a particular story or event, you can force an update of the headlines by choosing Update rather than waiting for the update to occur on its own.

In fact, when new content is available on any Channel in your Player you will see a gleam on the upper right-hand corner of that Channel.

RealPlayer comes with a number of Channels already loaded. Click on any Channel to connect to the service with which it’s associated.
