It doesn't make sense to me that I can tune into Bloomberg radio from ANY PC and yet cannot listen to it via any of my SB Players. Now I doubt that anybody on the planet will run out and spend the money on Sirius radio merely to get BBR. So all it does is reduce viewership for Bloomberg. -- IR

Either the fix that logitech have made at their server (perhaps preventing dropouts or off-time), or my constant de-enabling and re-enabling each night, are making the radio turn on, correct time, correct stream, including today. This period of correct behavior must now be 10 days or so. I have
