Hi Shavek, Many thanks for the info. I shall try your suggestion when I am back on my laptop and report back. Meanwhile I am using my workstation and had no trouble. Different machine but same IP address for my wan access. Cache seems to be a credible cause. Not heard from you for years it seems so many thanks again. Budge. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
