Dead links on roberts 202 internet radio.

decies

Just discovered that two of the boston sports radio that i used to listen to esp weei radio boston are getting network timeout messages.What worries me is that this is becomming a trend,either the site is blocked outside of usa or in the case of weei radio you have to listen to station through their player on the website.Anybody else discover that their favourite foreign stations are timed out?

Happened to KDKA Radio in Pittsburgh recently too. Must be a Clear Channel policy that has been implemented! :mad:

Its frustrated if this continues as its a nuisance if you have to go back to the net to acces your favourite radio station,defeats the purpose of the internet radio in the first place.At this rate will be left with the bbc stations ,dont even mention the ever increasing rights issues(french open being the latest) :mad:

I've a link to BBC R5 live stored on my Roberts 202 and it says it will stop at the end of May. I think you were the one who actually provided it, decies. However, I've the station selected through http://www.wifiradio-frontier.com/ and it seems OK. I'm not a regular listener so I would guess this one can't be bypassed or you get the 'due to rights restrictions' spiel.

Yes we are stuck with five live and extra with rights issues

I listen to Talk702 in South Africa and sometimes the Roberts202 gives that message. I find, as with most computers, to unplug it for a few minutes and then start afresh the problem disappears and I can listen again.

I'm not sure if it's the same with the channels you mention.

Breaking news i emailed wifi radio about it.
i also emailed the people who run the streaming on the website,they got back to me within 3 hours.
The streaming crowd gave me a url http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/WEEIAM.pls .
Before i tryed the url for the station again on roberts,i just checked had weei come back on my favourites,sure enough it had!!!
I also added the url to my added stations,that worked as well.
all good on this one.

More breaking news wrko boston is back now.!!!

tbh

ditto - however, and I stand to be corrected here, I think that's just the real stream - afaik, you can still get the mp3 stream.

Aye, I meant to say that. Hopefully alternative streams will be available.

Yes, me too. Usually if RTE1 is off I can get RTE Extra but nothing today.

Still no RTEs this morning.

Network Error on them all. Can anyone help???


editing to say I've just updated (software or something!!!) the radio and now getting Network Timeout instead of network error. Same thing I suppose. Is it an RTE problem???

The Black Oil

Not sure.
I've tried adding one or two podcasts to my favourites folder, but it doesn't seem to want to play them - format error, etc. Odd because they're mp3 and available in iTunes and it shows them in sequence (podcast #216, #217, etc) in the Roberts radio, but doesn't want to play them.
