briley Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I can not get Radio 4 and Radio 5 to stream live programmes, it works for a few minutes then fails. This has been happening since Sunday. I can listen to anything from the BBC using 'listen again' - but not 'live'. BBC web pages talks about being aware of a problem but do not date their message. I am wonder if it is my setup, Thailand or the BBC? Do others have the same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredlk Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I listen without any problems, but via http://www.listenlive.eu/uk.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryq Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 No Problems streaming Radio 4 from BBC iPlayer for me (30 mins +). Plenty of other sources including listenlive.eu as mentioned or internet radio prog like Tapin Radio. (XPsp3 +FF 10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobi Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Here's a link I used for years before BBC Radio Player, and it still works well as a back up. You have to use it in conjunction with Windows Media Player. http://www.radiofeeds.co.uk/wmp.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talisman01 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Another problem free way of listening to BBC radio programmes and others for free is at www.new.thelounge.com just click on the 'on demand' option on the left then search for the programme of your choice.

briley Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Thanks to all the comments, it must be something wrong with my setup. Radiofeeds works fine for me, via VLC - I do not like media player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
