I am non-UK and in the last few days have much the same problem as acanning. Apparently no solution as yet but it just might be worth noting that the iPlayer radio app (ios smart phone - unfortunately not SQB) allows me to listen to the few programs that I cannot get on my SQB radio. Am not expert enough to know what this means other than that somewhere there is a format and corresponding URL that works. My temporary solution is to just plug in a matchbox sized bluetooth receiver to my SQB radio and play from my phone. Just might be of some use ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ fmanchu's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33960 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109826 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
