Call (800) 597-3200 or (612) 550-6390 between 6:30 AM and 5:30 PM PST for details.

Microsoft TV satellite broadcasts can be relayed to any PictureTel or H.320 compliant videoconferencing system (about 90% of the units in existence today) through Link VTC.

Microsoft TV shows are picked up by some Microsoft Authorized
Technical Education Centers (ATECs) and Solution Providers (SPs)
who provide a location to view the show. Training centers that
are part of the Technology Education Network (TEN) and on the
Knowledge Stream network also carry the Microsoft TV broadcasts.
To find an ATEC or SP in your area who hosts Microsoft TV shows,
please call the Microsoft TV information line at (800) 597-3200
