Hi:
I am accessing some foreign language TV channels that are streamed through the internet and played with Windows Media Player 9. I have hooked up my PC to the TV for this purpose. The website I subscribe to lists several channels. I click on one of them which brings up Windows Media Player to play it. I then use the full screen mode of the Windows Media Player.
However, to switch channels, I am forced to minimize the Media Player screen and click on a different channel on the site's webpage. However, here is what I would like to be able to do. I want to be able to switch channels within Media Player itself without having to minimize the Media Player screen and subsequently clicking on the different channel. In other words, I would like to have an interface as close as possible to what I have with a TV.

Can this be done? Any suggestions? Thanks.

chanderusa, what if you simply minimize the website to your taskbar prior to opening Media Player and then return? Seems to me that oughta give you one-click access when you get ready to switch and minimize hassle.

Or, see if Media Player will let you add your channels to it. If not, I believe media player 10 will let you.
