For example, I tried to add this channel
http://www.tvover.net/TVStation,direct,58.aspx or one like it

Thanks

Well, that's a webpage, it isn't actually a video (urls ending in .asx
-not aspx - are videos, for example..).

A simple way to see what you can or can't add: The gadget uses a
Windows Media Player object to play the video. So whatever would need
WMP to be played can be added as an url.
