Technical Issues

I tried to download Mr. Universe to my iPad/iPhone/Kindle/Xbox and it didn't work.
Although some of these devices can stream Mr. Universe, most of them cannot receive a download of the show. If you would like to download the show for viewing on your mobile or gaming device, download it to your PC and transfer or sync the file from there. If you don't know how to do this with your device, please contact support at the device's manufacturer.
I tried to burn a DVD but it didn't work.
We're not able to offer support for DVD burning. If you need help burning a DVD of Mr. Universe, please contact the manufacturers of your PC and/or relevant software.
My download was interrupted.
When you purchased Mr. Universe, you were given 3 downloads. Feel free to log in and download the show again. If you need to have downloads restored to your account, please contact support.
The stream is glitchy.
Make sure the relevant software is up-to-date. It might also be a problem with your internet service. If possible, download the file and transfer it to whatever device you prefer to watch it on.
All my downloads are gone but I only downloaded Mr. Universe once.
If you use a download accelerator/manager (e.g. DownThemAll for the Firefox browser), a single click will deplete your account of downloads.
The show plays but it's out of sync / the video is choppy / there's no sound, etc.
Restart your computer or device and reload the show into your player. If the playback is still unsatisfactory, please try VLC Player (videolan.org/vlc) which should be able to play the file fine. If you continue to have trouble, try another download or contact support.
