YOU TUBE VIDEOS NOW AVAILABLE

41 You Tube Videos

       Our Web Site now has the capability of "Streaming" YOU TUBE videos for immediate access on your computer. You can watch without having to down load the file first. However, You Tube has a 10 minute limitation so smaller clips will have to be used. Long shows will still be shown in their entirety on Media Fire Pro. We are working on getting those videos to "stream" as well.
