I may add, and I have mentioned previously, that ABC - the Australian Broadcasting Corporation- Windows Media Player audio playlists, likewise do not work on THE (OR MY) Plextalk POCKET when transferred from Windows XP PC to Plextalk. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Flor Lynch" <florlync@iol.ie> To: "Plextalk User Discussion List" <plextalk@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2013 11:46 PM Subject: Re: [Plextalk] Web Radio
They work on my Windows XP desktop and on my Windows7 laptop (LAN/wireless): but, they DO NOT WORK on my Plextalk. (I downloaded and then Plextalk-transferred r2.asx and r4.asx from my desktop, but no play on my Plextalk pocket. Do the BBC UK nationwide radio stations - such as Radio 1, 1Xtra, Radio 4, and all the rest - do they work on your Plextalk in Canada? If you haven't tried working with them there yet, I would be grateful if you would at your convenience please do so and confirm the results.)
Many other stations work fine on my Plextalk, including BBC local stations. (I started a thread on this here on the list in early February.)

The BBC local stations, local and BBC World are available at http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/playing_radio_progs/local_radio_s treams and are in the asx supported format. For Radio1 etc, try http://bbcstreams.com/ Right click on the (link) after the file name.asx and save as a windows media audio/video playlist. Works for me in CA.

OK. Now outside the UK there is some sort or proxy thing or geo-blocking that prevents the BBC radio stations from being received wirelessly by non-UK ISP's. (This doesn't prevent PC's physically connected to a broadband or other internet connection from receiving them; there is no problem there.)
have you already got stations up? I think I can send you privately an attachment with a list of the BBC radio stations that you can try on the Plextalk after you've unzipped them, etc.

Hi Jeff,
If you're in the UK, then you have a different problem other than what I'll discuss here ,and I'll I'll pass it over to those who live in the UK.
If you Are outside the UK however, then on the Plextalk you probably will not be able to receive any of the NATIONWIDE BBC radio stations - 1, 2, 1 Xtra, 3, 4, 4 Extra, 5 Live, 5Live Sport Extra, 6 music - other than the BBC world Service, which is available and , of course, is international. (You are also able to receive the regional stations - BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Scotland, and BBC Radio Ulster. Other, commercial, UK radio stations don't seem to have this problem. This despite the BBC stations being available in Windows Media Audio.

I now have web radio on my plextalk, but nothing from the BBC. What I am after is Radio2, 3, 4, 4-extra, 5-live and world service. Any hints and finding a simple way of loading these would be appreciated.
