I'll be a bit pedantic here and say that the problem relates the the WAN stream rather than the LAN. I encounter interruptions to the streams from multiple Internet radio sources but as the BBC is the only one I use for Listen Again and Poodcasts I was wondering if there was something unique about these and why recovery was not possible. bpa Wrote: > You haven't given any details of your set up (e.g PC, OS, SS version, > Alien Version, network connection, location) so it is difficult to > give more advice.
