Whats 'wrong' with the BBC console is that it makes it difficult to
download the data rather than streaming it.

Of course that might be the intention ... otherwise its good.

With a little bit of effort and insight one can play the stream in
realplayer and specify the start time correctly as I find that
Radio 3 are poor at setting that correctly.

I have a professional interest in web audio;

see: http://www.gbc.gi/audio.htm

Visit that click on the IRN link and see if it works - then
visit their website

http://www.irn.co.uk/

and see if it works there, if it does not, report it to
the webmaster.

Some video transport for broadcast? Any more hints what I'm looking
for and whether it will be supported on GNU?

What's wrong with a pop-up console it's better than the whole damn
Windows Media Player or Musicmatch popping up when you click on an mp3 file.

It doesn't work? It seems a lot worse than actually letting the player
console handle things.

I agree with whoever wrote that sat audio is better at the moment. Easier
to save at the moment too.

It is indeed. They say that somewhere.

I wonder why. It's not that difficult to capture the stream for later
use - and for many users, particularly those accessing in internet
cafés, it would be a helluva lot more convenient.

This smells like abnother example of technology outstripping copyright
regulations...

My guess would be that they consider what they are doing as
broadcasting, wheras making it available for download might be
taken to be publishing in the same way as selling a CD.

You clearly have missed the postings by the ex-pats in Portugal
and the east of spain who are using 3m dishes and above to
strain at the ether to extract Eastenders and Emmerdale.

Theres not exactly one on every rooftop.

The enthusiasts, with steerable dishes, or arrays of them are
but a handful which can for all practical purposes be ignored
although this group is naturally biased towards that enthusiasm.

For Mr/Herr/Sr average DTH is about buying a small dish
pointed at one satellite, with his national package.

But for the others, the big question is which language shall
we watch the Eurovision song contest in to hear best how
many points the UK entry gets ...

That's still not the point. And I'm still not talking about 3m dishes. The
"90 cm" dish area is vast.

I'm not the least bit surprised. And it's still not the point.

Still not the point.

The area served is the point and not the numbers using it. And I'm still
talking about the vast "90 cm" dish area.
