LOC Veteran Posted June 2, 2009 Veteran Share Posted June 2, 2009 Darn, I really wish I could use this in the US. Well, maybe when Hulu and the BBC exchange content I can get access to more UK stuff. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 ^ What's the fuss about ? I'm listening to BBC Radio now, in the USA. BBC News plays thru Media player. BBC Music channels plays thru realPlayer 11, which is free. I have a high-speed connection, and linked thru: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a high-speed connection, and linked thru: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ I was just under the impression that anything BBC streamed was UK only. Other than using a proxy that is. I didn't know the radio was available to anyone. Thanks for the tip though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 After a bit of web searching, I get the impression the BBC has blocked any use of the Radio channels, by using any gadgets. The BBC wants people to link only thru their Radio website. You need Media Player installed, and (free version) realPlayer 11 installed. So far, I think the talk radio channels are rubbish. I enjoy the Music tho. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Update: BBC Radio, channels 1 thru 7, and News, play thru Media Player directly. Click on the Media Guide tab, Search for 'BBC', and you will see the channels listed. Sounds great. :spindj: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
