How does CAN work?
The “brains” behind CAN is SmartVideo technology. SmartVideo
have worked tirelessly developing a streaming process that allows us
to deliver live TV and on-demand video to your mobile device. What makes
SmartVideo so special? Let’s get a little more technical. This
streaming process delivers full-motion video on the current standard
cellular network, 2.5G. This is essentially a “dial-up connection”
for your mobile phone. The future is 3G (aka EVDO or UMTS), which is
similar to a cable or DSL connection for your phone. That future is
here and 3G is rapidly expanding across North America. When SmartVideo
is viewed on the 3G network or WiFi using a PDA or Pocket PC, the video
fills the screen and brings your handset into the 21st century!

your service provider. Depending on the time of day or where you are
geographically, you may receive a weaker internet connection. Mobile
carriers are constantly working to improving their connection strength;
likewise the number of users is increasing at a very similar rate.
Try these
troubleshooting technique:
Soft Reset
On a PDA or Pocket PC, insert your stylus in the “Reset”
hole and allow the device to restart. This will not cause you to lose
any data or personalized settings.
On a Symbian or Microsoft Smartphone, turn off the device and pull out
the battery for 5 to 10 seconds. hen, restart the phone.
Watch at Different Times and Places

for differences in your experience. Often, you’ll notice that
you may get a better connection during one part of the day than another

you may not be receiving enough bandwidth to maintain this stream. Go
back to the SmartVideo Main Menu, select “Settings” and
set your connection speed to “Low”.

While I'm watching TV, my screen gets
dark after a few minutes. Why?
To conserve battery power, each device has its own backlight setting.
You are able to adjust the device's display settings to have the light
remain on for a longer period of time. This feature is typically located
in the “Settings” menu, but you may need to consult your
device's instruction manual for directions on changing your backlight
settings.

Why doesn't the video fill my entire screen?
Times are changing and technology is improving by leaps and bounds!
The new 3G (aka EVDO or UMTS) system provides compatible devices 200
to 300 kbps of bandwidth, which allows SmartVideo to stream to your
device at full screen! The current CDMA/GPRS standard, 2.5G, is a smaller
picture but SmartVideo is still able to provide you with full-motion
video and synchronized audio! SmartVideo’s application allows
you to select which stream you would like to receive. If you have a
3G connection, you may select the “Settings” link on the
Main Menu and select “High Speed”.
