Missing BBC internet radio Reason

    No problem via tune in.

    I have a couple of stand alone Internet radios at home. Will check later

    Not happy either.

    I was gutted a few weeks ago when this happened. I couldn't find anything on Shoutcast either. I now get the BBC mp3 streams from radiofeeds.co.uk(also found a few Irish stations that wouldn't previously stream on my internet radio). The BBC say their mp3 stream will be around for another year or 2.

    I was was sad when my bedside IR would not stream BBC4,4 extra and 5. I have the fall back of satellite but its a hassle. I can get the local BBC stuff plus WS.


    Its an old IR and I think its not S/W supported.


    Pity really, thats the problem with bits bytes chips and S/W.


    Bring back valve radio and the medium wave "the way radio should sound like"


    On a related issue. A few weeks ago I turned on 4 extra on my Phone via Tunein "old version" and was horrified to see it broadcast on 128 kbps with no other streams. I was used to 48kbps as it was just about for my mobile 2gb cap per month. Checked it and they now have lesser kbps streams but so far they are patchy ie lots of drop out.


    Hope things improve.


    Finally can anyone link to written or videos on Internet Radio.
    What does it look like?
    How many are listening to a particular radio station?
    From where?
    The highs and lows of listening, ie Morning Ireland over and a big switch off with a move to NT etc.
    How many listeners can say RTE 1 handle?


    Thanks. JD.

    They work but keep dropping out on my Revo Radio Station from 2008, very irritating.
