SET UP
To view the debate, you MUST have RealOne Player software installed on your computer. If you don't have RealOne Player, are unsure if you have it, or may not have the latest version, click here. All you need to download is the RealOne "Basic Player," which is totally free—look for it on the RealOne page. You do NOT need the "14-day trial" RealOne Player Plus, the subscription-based RealOne Player SuperPass, nor do you need any of the ad-supported extra services available with your download of RealOne Player (Basic).

PLEASE NOTE: The RealOne Player (Basic) is an approximately 9MB download, which may take some time, depending on your connection speed (up to 45 minutes on a typical dial-up connection). However, once the Player is installed you will be able to view the debate without further long waits.

FIREWALL ISSUES
Corporate or organizational users who have difficulty connecting from behind a firewall can click here to view a Real Networks tech support page about receiving streaming content from behind a firewall (you may need to configure your media player to receive content using "http only" -- the instructions are on the Real Networks page, above).

PLEASE NOTE: The video and audio portions of the webcast will be clearer and smoother at faster connection speeds, but will become jerky and interrupted if you select a speed that is too fast for your actual, physical connection to the internet. If you can receive the program, but the image "drops out" or pauses, try reconnecting at a slower speed.
