a940.book Page 167 Monday, January 23, 2006 12:15 PM 10. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see the word “loading” at the bottom of the screen? This happens when the media player is in the process of loading the data necessary to play the clip. It typically occurs when there is heavy traffic on the network. 11. How can I cancel service if I decide I don't want it? To cancel your Sprint TV Service, visit www.sprint.com and sign on to My PCS with your account number and password.
