I've been trying to connect to 702, Highveld and 5Fm with the same
problem you're describing and manage to connect occasionally, but as a
general rule it doesn't work.  See my posts in thread
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16100&page=2 re this.

A more recent thread re same issue is at
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24940

Following that thread it would appear to be an unresolved bug.  I've
been in touch with Antfarm with regards to the issues and their last
response (in reply to Dan Sully's response in the abovementioned
thread) was:
"As mentioned before, for the stations you are interested in, we stream
using Windows Media ASF using both HTTP and MMS protocols. 

To check this, use any of the provided URLs with Windows Media Player -
once streaming, on the WMP menu bar, click View-Statistics-Advanced for
confirmation of which protocol is in use...

It appears that the device in question does not support Windows Media
ASF streams. Please note that Windows Media ASF HTTP streams are NOT
the same as other HTTP streams (Shoutcast, QuickTime, Real etc) despite
using the same protocol. In the case of Windows Media ASF, HTTP is
merely used as a 'wrapper' around MMS to make the protocol transparent
to firewalls..."

Looks like we'll have to wait for a firmware update that fixes the
issue.
