From Owain:

SETTING UP WINAMP:

After installing WinAmp go to OPTIONS - PREFERENCES(a dialog box will open)
In the list on the L/H side of the dialog box, highlight FILE TYPES
In the list on the R/H side of the dialog box ensure that, at least, m3u and pls files are highlighted
i.e. associated with WinAmp (that WinAmp is the default player for these file types - m3u and pls files are at the very bottom of the list)

Next:

On the L/H side of the dialog box scroll down to and highlight INPUT (under the PLUG-INS heading)
On the R/H side of the dialog box highlight and double click 'Nullsoft NSV Decoder v1.05'
(re: v1.05 - or whatever version you may have installed)
a new dialog box will open up where you can set the recommended buffer settings
Recommended buffer settngs: SCREEN SHOT
BUFFER SIZE 30000 LOCAL FILE 100
PREBUFFER AT START: 10000 LOCAL FILE 100
REBUFFER ON UNDERRUN: 10000 LOCAL FILE 100
CLICK OK

Go to the HELP file here http://streamtvnow.com/board/showthread.php?t=3256

Ideally you would have a 1mb connection or better.

Depends on the quality/speed of the stream and your connection.

If you require any more info please post your questions on the StreamTvnow site.
