Hi,

Are you sure? Is this a recent thing? I used to listen to the BBC a lot
(not for a couple of months now). However, not the playagain, but the live
stream.

When connecting to the BBC web site, it is a bit of a pain to get it working
at first. In the end you download a surestream file for the station you
want to listen to and so instead of opening IE and surfing to the correct
URL, you just open realplayer and open the surestream file.

I don't have my wifi card with me at the mo, but when I do, I will check it
out to see if it is still working.

Cheers,
Mike.
