There is no difference. They are the exact same digital streams - just the API to find them has changed. Even the digital stream in HLS and DASH transports is the same. The 320 vs 339 and VBR vs CBR are due to BBC's inconsistency in documenting their streams. What value is shown depend a which parts of the metadata - which is arbitrary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109826
