I got a codec error for BBC World, not that my conn is fast enough anyways but does anyone know how to fix the problem?

parasite · 13-04-2003 5:28pm

hmm i rad somewhere that you needed a dutch proxy for that dsltv site, no ?
not that i have dsl anyway ..
why am i here ?

Sloth · 13-04-2003 5:32pm

Heh, looking at the thread at first I thought I was going to be told that I could get a broadband connection by plugging my pc into my TV. It's not that crazy an idea though, just look at that thingy about getting the internet through your electricity.

drrnwbb · 13-04-2003 7:24pm

if you go to the website (www.dsltv.nl) and click on the links then they do not work (you get that ip error message). but if you click the direct links given in the first thread they work okay.

well, the work fine for me, my ip address is finnish.

get a TV tuner card to get it without the broadband connection......although it might b easier to just get a television

Turn on your monitor?

Aha, but seriously - try checking your connection speed in realplayer/wmplayer. Sometimes they can be set manually. Try setting the speed closer to what you're connected at. Also, make sure you have the latest version of the required player.

flav0rflav · 10-05-2003 2:53pm

I'm having a similar problem, ie. no picture. The codec is not loading from MS. I think I know why that might be

The wwitv link is very impressive.

I only came in here because i thought this thread shouldn't have been stickyed, but i've changed my mind!

You can continue to use 6.4 or 7.x if you want.

Lenny · 19-05-2003 1:40am

Great stuff, its actualy decent nuff uality on full screen,
orking grand here, just updated to the latest version of windos media player

David C · 19-05-2003 4:33pm

They reduced the bitrate to 280kbit/s so it's a little more playable..

I keep getting single frames then it reverts to the 80k soundtrack only.. The connection to the netherlands obviously isn't good enough. I'm on IWISP 512k..

carrotcake · 19-05-2003 10:40pm

i'm getting 480 here. they only cut it down to 280 if you can't take 480

Unstable · 20-05-2003 12:03am

can you give a link for that bbc tv one,

carrotcake · 20-05-2003 12:38pm

check the first post in this topic

Turner · 09-06-2003 8:09pm

I will review these when I get home (firewall here atm). It would be nice to have a comprehensive list of channels that actually work.

Chief.

(oh yeah and sticky'd again. If anybody wants to make a super dooper post with alot of working tv channels I will sticky it.)
