As expected you are getting a UK WMA URL whereas I get a non UK URL.
UK
http://wmlive-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms/bbc_ami/radio4/radio4_bb_live_ep1_sl1
Non-UK
http://wmlive-nonacl.bbc.net.uk/wms/bbc_ami/radio4/radio4_bb_live_int_ep1_sl1

My system gets the same error as you get when I try to play the UK URL

Code:
--------------------
    
  [12-11-07 08:52:29.3884] Slim::Utils::Scanner::Remote::__ANON__ (240) Error: 
Can't connect to remote server to retrieve playlist for, 
http://wmlive-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms/bbc_ami/radio4/radio4_bb_live_ep1_sl0: Connect 
timed out: .
  
--------------------


So is the problem that the BBC has got mixed up with its geo IP locking
and thinks you are not in the UK.

So there are two test to perform.
1. Can you can play the UK URL on another device.
2. Can you play the non UK URL on your player connected to local LMS ?
