I listen to Radio 5 at my desk that way (the PC has a radio, but it only does VHF not MW) and also BBC7, 6Music and KOZT which is a Californian radio station. I also use the "listen again" feature to listen to programmes on BBC7 and Radio 4. > Do you get the same problems with dropping data on internet radio?. > Are you on NTL? Yes. 1.5Mbs (and I'm running Realplayer 10 on various Linux PCs and laptops depending on where I am around the house). > have you noticed the service going down for quite long > periods of time recently 30min to a hour? Nope. The BBC servers do get overloaded sometimes mind you, increasingly so of late, but on the whole it works very well. -- Paul
