How to Turn off Ad-Blockers to Allow Ustream Channel Viewing

If you cannot view a stream, this could be because of a firewall.

The following is a guide on how to allow Ustream on common blocking applications:

Adblock Plus extension (Firefox):Locate the 'APB' stop sign (usually upper right on your browser), click the down-arrow next to it and click "Disable on ustream.tv".(There maybe more than one)

"Noscript" add-on for Firefox. Locate the blue 'S' on the bottom of your task bar and/or "opinions" and allow "ustream.tv. " (May need to allow more than one)

IE7Pro AdBlock: Locate the blue 'E' icon in the lower-right corner of your browser. Right-click it, and select "AD Blocker," then "Don't Filter This Site."(Anything with ustream.tv)

SafariBlock: Open Safari Preferences, choose the SafariBlock tab, and click the "Disable" button.

Kaspersky Internet Security: You have a couple of options:

1. Pause Protection: Right-click the red/black "K" (Kaspersky Icon) in the lower-right corner of your screen. Click "Pause Protection". Choose an appropriate time period from the drop-down menu. Then click outside of the drop menu. The window will disappear, and the "K" will turn gray. You can now surf our site for the time period chosen.
