SUMMARY
This article describes what a channel is and how to subscribe to a channel.
MORE INFORMATION
A channel is a method that gives users the ability to browse a page or group of pages offline by subscribing to that page or group of pages. Unlike a full site subscription, which allows a user to download every page within a subscribed site, a channel defines a subset of pages which are monitored for updates and downloaded as needed on an established schedule. The schedule can be established either in the Channel Definition File or in the subscribing browser. A channel can also be configured to e-mail its subscribers when new content is available on the channel.
You can subscribe to a channel by clicking a hyperlink to the Channel Definition Format (CDF) file with a browser that supports Active Channel technology such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 4.0. When you click the CDF file, the file is processed by the browser and then downloaded to the your computer so that you can view it while you are offline.
