Just died here in Mulhuddart. Anybody concur ?

Tuned in in Cork this morning - was fine for a while but then cut out and now it's back on but the sound is very muffled. Any idea what's wrong - this happened last year too where it was cutting out frequently.

Now they've played the same song twice in a row - and it's like the record is skipping! Very strange! I'm listening online

It's like it's a recording and they're just playing the same bit of speaking and the same song over and over again - I clicked out of the site and went back in and now it's taking ages to load. My colleague has it on and it's playing away fine

Update: 10:04am. Normal business has resumed !

Now, fingers crossed that poxy "Christmas Shoes" song doesn't make an appearance.

Mines working again now

And gone again....I'm gonna have to switch, it's driving me mad! :-(

Seem to be having a few problems picking it up in Whest Limerick at the mo. The station is there, but nothing's playing out.

Also have the app, but the stop button isn't working on it. Is this a common glitch or is their something wrong with my iPhone?

The stop button doesn't work on the app for me either. iPhone with the latest version of ios 7. I clicked on the Feedback option and sent an email about it a week or so ago but no one got back to me.

Was having problems with it cutting out on the app so I switched to the website and it's working great on that!

I'm sure they're just teething problems and it'll improve.

Are you using the app from last year? I was too, and then I searched for "Christmas FM" again in the app store and scrolled across to the second option to see they have a new app which was only created on the 24th of this month. Hopefully that'll solve the problem- it works for me!

Toy show tomorrow night!! woohoo

Thanks for that. I did download it this year but it was before the 24th so it was the old one. I've downloaded the new one and it's working.

I'm getting tipp fm on the frequency provided for Waterford, not picking it up manually tuning!

I can't tune it in at all in Limerick City! I've tried a few radios with no joy. I know it's supposed to be on 105.5 but boy is it faint.

RoboAmish

Tis working in Whest Limerick now. Christmas has come at last to the South West:pac:

hdowney

So no joy in Wicklow town on the radio - damn you East Coast FM having the monopoly.
I did have the online stream on but it kept either cutting out or skipping in the tracks so I have been relegated to my iTunes list of Christmas songs

CombatCow

Anyone having issues with the internet stream, its really low quality, it's not my net connection either as I have 100mb UPC :-/

Yeah it's rubbish. Also was it €2 for a text last year?

Loughc

I thought it was €1, but doesn't matter as all of the €2 goes to a really good cause.

CombatCow

€1 texts last year

Indeed. The quality has been shocking for about 2 hours now.

Thought me headphones were broken...

Alicat

Yeah, crap quality most of the day We were trying to play it in work in the shop but had to turn it off!

Radharc na Sleibhte

Yeah, same here. Had to go to the iphone playlist.

It was christmas eve babe.......old man....years for.....sang a song...

So annoying. Did the opposite of putting me in the christmas mood....!!

CombatCow

Im not a fan of fairytale either :P

Also is the stream completely dead now, cant get it on pc or iphone...

**its back

hdowney

Yea stream went dead on Android earlier. Don't know if it is back up yet

Sully

App seems a bit slow to react at times but was working okay this morning. (Android).

Disappointing no broadcast in the South East so far this year.
