I stream (mostly via Sounds) BBC R4, R3 and R4Ex almost all day, every day; and there are almost never any Rights Restrictions cut-outs. The only time I use a VPN for said streaming is when I happen to be using it for something else (TV, banking etc etc). The restrictions I do occasionally encounter are, as you and others say, almost always sports-related; or - and this is an odd one - that Thought for the Day segment on R4 Today program, where some contributors must have a contract that gives the Beeb UK rights only to their musings..... The restrictions seem a tad random just now, and I suspect Paul Webster, above, has the right of it - summer "finger troubles" in the BBC control room!
