EPT
Although getting an account on OGN or MBC seems to be difficult and expensive, there is another option if you want to watch StarCraft on your computer, live and when it happens.
The program is called Afreeca, and it is the spawn of PDBox (which was the beta). This is a guide on how to create an account, and then use and install the program. The work was done by EtErNaLAeOn for the first part, and IntoTheWow for the second part.
The Ultimate Afreeca Guide.
How to make an Account
Go to: http://www.pdbox.co.kr/afreeca

How to install the player and get games:
First go to this site: http://afreeca.pdbox.co.kr/ be sure you are browsing this site with Internet Explorer or otherwise some of the steps wont work.
You will see a login card in the top left corner, fill it in with the following information (or the account that you created above).
Username: noLexX
Password: 1234

Then click on the lock as shown in the picture.
After logging in, the page should refresh showing a different card now. Something like this:
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Manifesto7/afreecaguide/b.JPG)
Be sure the dropmenu is showing what the picture is and now click on the blue ball once. An activeX screen should pop in the top of your internet explorer. Allow the Afreeca player to be installed. Page should refresh itself while doing this (IE could get stuck a litte, just let it load).
After the page refreshed click on the blue ball once again. A window should prompt asking to install Afreeca on your PC.
Click on the [Agree] box, and then on the [Next] box. Program should install itself and create an icon in your desktop.
Now all we have to do is search for a channel straeming starcraft
The program itself looks something like this:
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Manifesto7/afreecaguide/c.JPG)
Click on the button with the red box. It should load a channel list. Now we have to find a channel there with a starcraft related picture or name. (note: the button on the right to the one i boxed works as a refresh button from what i know).

There i click on a channel to join it. Theres a list on the right with the people in the channel, under it theres a shoutbox. On the left, the channel should load, theres a "add to favorites button", a stop, muta and volume buttons.
Go watch some Starcraft

If you use firefox, you can get a plugin
here.
To Broadcast
Ok, the following picture will explain how to make your own broadcasts with Afreeca player, the new Wplayer.
First, you have to log in at http://afreeca.pdbox.co.kr/
The Blue button will allow you to watch broadcasts, but we don't need it.
the GREEN BUTTON will allow you make your very own broadcasts. Once you press the green button, you will see the following screen:

The above pic is pretty self explanatory.
Add all the information in the middle window,
The squarie button on the bottom left hand side is the button that will start the broadcast.
Then, you will get the following screen:
![[image loading]](http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/4651/23tr1.jpg)
The new window is the little camera that will broadcast everything in it. To expand the window, press the double sided arrow.
To actually start the capture, you must press the LITTLE RED DOT on the top left hand side of that new window.
Ok, I think that's it; let me know if there's something wrong/anything to add..
If you have any problems or questions, post them here or PM the two authors. Thanks guys.
