Repeat and Rebroadcast

Repeat

  • Puppet show and animation from the fourth to the second part does not mean it is not a new one every time. Get a new one, but sometimes, most times are just trying to shuffle a play for broadcasting up to that point I did a full re-broadcast. This system is called repeat.
  • Only posts from the viewer does not repeat this.
