What is GoHolyCross.com?
GoHolyCross.com is the official web site of the College of the Holy Cross Athletics Department. GoHolyCross.com is available to everyone who can access the Internet and contains articles, press releases, statistical information and other important content provided by the GoHolyCross.com Sports Information Department within.
Your work, school, or the hotel could have network settings which either restricts the access to some content or to content which requires large amounts of bandwidth to access. You would need to discuss these restrictions with the network administrator for them to allow you access. Also, if you are using a computer that does not allow you administrator rights there could be restrictions on the type of content you are allowed to access such as live multicast video, you would also need to talk to the computer administrator to allow your profile access to such content.
I have high-speed wireless internet, but still seem to be having buffering problems?
While wireless internet can provide convenience for many lower bandwidth internet applications, it is not optimal for the higher speeds required for live video streaming. Over a wireless router you can experience large amount of bandwidth fluctuation from other computers on your network and also from external devices which can interfere with the wireless signal. If you are experiencing poor video quality or frequent buffering, we recommend connecting directly to the router or modem to provide higher quality and more consistent signal. Click the links below to test your bandwidth.

Connect an Apple device (iPad, iPhone, iTouch) to your TV
The video below shows the cables you can use to connect an iPad, iPhone or iTouch to a TV in order to view web content. NOTES for Apple users:
- Any web video you can access through your Apple device can be displayed on a TV. Use a cable to connect your Apple device to a TV as shown in the video below. After the two are connected, you'll need to press the INPUT or SOURCE button on your TV's remote control until the video from the Apple device is displayed on the TV screen.
- If you also have an Apple TV, some web content will be compatible with the AirPlay feature. In that case, you can use your iPad, iPod or iPhone (which must be connected to the same home wi-fi network as your Apple TV) to stream web content to your television through the Apple TV. Be aware that not all web content can be streamed through AirPlay.
- Remember that Apple devices (iPads, iPhones and iPods) do not allow you to view video in the widely-used Adobe Flash format. Many web video are in Flash, so you won't be able to use an apple device to watch them.
Connect a laptop to your TV
What's the easiest way to display web content on your TV? In many cases, you can use a cable from a video output port on your laptop (or other connected device) to a video input port on your TV. Start by checking both your laptop and TV to see what type of ports they've got, then see the notes below for tips on using the cable that matches your ports.
HDMI – If both your laptop and TV have HDMI ports, you're home free. The HDMI will deliver both high quality video and audio. Plug it into both devices, then press the INPUT button on your TV's remote control until you see the computer's picture mirrored on your TV. Note for Mac or iPad users – You will need to purchase an apple HDMI adapter. The adapter plugs into your Apple device's video out port. Then you can connect an HDMI cable to the adapter and your TV.
DVI – If both your laptop and your TV have DVI ports, you can use a DVI cable to carry the web video to your TV. DVI will not carry audio, so you'll need a separate audio cable. You can use a single-pin audio cable and plug it into the headphone jack on the laptop and to the audio-in jack on your TV. This will be a good quality video solution. After connecting the cable, press the INPUT button on your TV's remote control until you see the computer's picture mirrored on your TV.
VGA – If both your laptop and your TV have VGA ports, you can use a VGA cable to display the web video on your TV. But VGA will not carry sound, so you'll need a separate audio cable. Like the DVI, you can use a single-pin audio cable and plug it into the headphone jack on the laptop and to the audio-in jack on your TV. While the VGA signal won't look as good as HDMI or DVI, it's better than the options below in terms of quality. Turn off both your TV and computer before connecting the cable. Then power them back on and your TV should automatically show the content from the computer. If it doesn't, press the INPUT button on your TV's remote control until you see the computer's picture mirrored on your TV.
S-Video – If both your laptop and your TV have S-Video ports, you can use an S-Video cable to display the web video on your TV. But S-Video will not carry sound, so you'll need a separate audio cable. You can use a single-pin audio cable and plug it into the headphone jack on the laptop and to the audio-in jack on your TV. S-Video is an analog cable and the signal quality is lower than the options above.
Composite – This is a last resort. Most laptops don't have composite-out ports. If your TV's only input is composite, you'll need a special cable. The cable must match one of your computer's output ports and have composite jacks on the end that you plug in to your TV. The yellow composite pin carries the video signal, and plugs in to the yellow composite port on the TV. For audio, use a single-pin audio cable and plug it into the headphone jack on the laptop and to the audio-in jack on your TV. After the cable is hooked up, press the input button on your TV's remote control until you see the computer's signal on the TV.
Connect Using Google Chromecast
If your TV has an HDMI port, you can watch content using Chromecast without any cables. After purchasing the Chromecast device, get started in three steps: plug Chromecast into your HDMI port, set up the device and connect it to WiFi, then send video from your smartphone, tablet or laptop to your TV with the press of a button. Chromecast works with many devices, including Android tablets and smartphones, iPhones, iPads, and your laptop when using the Chrome web browser for Mac and Windows.
