    I got a logitech Squeezebox and it seems that BBC2, BBC3 and BBC4 are only available in the UK. is there anyway around this?

    It looks like it doesn't have Real Audio format support, to receive the BBC channels outside uk you need Real.

    Yup Mike, a quick google confirms that.

    "Plays MP3, AAC, WMA, Ogg, FLAC, Apple Lossless, WMA Lossless and WAV music files "

    No Real.

    So if BBC Radio in the republic is your bag, avoid this one.

    Is this still the case?

    I was really thinking of getting this one, but I do alot of BBC listening, can you listen to the Podcasts on it?

    Thanks.:)

    You can now listen to BBC National Radio from anywhere in the world.
    Someone's also developed an iPlayer plugin for the Squeezebox.

    Thanks for that.

    On another note, read a review saying its not that stable as it drops out from time to time.

    If I get on it will be static using the ethernet connection.

    All your views welcome Vinnielo.

    Thanks.:):):)
