<p class="p">"stream" is a technical term which means continuosly flowing

and simply refers to something retrievable hyperlinks or web addresses like

overly useful for such purposes.</p></dd>

To not redownload stream information on every category or channel
flip, streamtuner2 saves this data. This avoids time consuming
server requests.
