Hi all,

Living not in the UK, I constantly use my squeezebox for listening to
BBC Radio 4. I always used to use AlienBBC which is nice but I got a lot
of stuttering and rebuffering problems. Then I discovered that Rhapsody
(via Squeeze Network) provides Radio 4 as a stream, and that it works
wonderfully. I don't think I've ever had a single stutter or rebuffer.

But now there is a strange and frustrating problem with Rhapsody which
never affected the AlienBBC stream. The radio content is frequently
replaced with a looped "Due to rights restrictions, this program is
unavailable". I understand why this may be occasionally legally
necessary (though not why it is necessary on the Rhapsody stream but not
the AlienBBC stream).

The really odd part is this, though: the rights restriction loops
appears to start up at random times without connection to the program
content. I understand that rights restrictions apply to things like
music or drama. But just now, at approximately 8.18am UK time, in the
middle of the today program (a news magazine program), it suddenly
started up randomly in the middle of an interview about snow chaos!?!

It seems to me like whoever or whatever is turning on the right
restrictions loop has gone a bit wrong. Could I be right, and if so, can
anyone suggest what I could do about it?

Cheers,

Ben
