I have 2 Squeezebox classics that have been playing flawlessly since the
day they came out of the box almost 3 years ago.

About a week ago I bought a Squeezebox Radio. Unfortunately this radio
has an  annoying quirck and I'm not sure how to solve it (assuming it's
something I can solve myself).

When playing radio streams from di.fm (or sky.fm) the radio usually
plays for about 10 minutes, then the music stops (the radio still
indicates the play icon) and after 10 to 15 seconds the wireless symbol
turns to blue (a problem communicating with squeezebox server).

At this point there is no more communication between the radio and the
outside world (like the wireless has been switched off). The only thing
I can do to recover is switch the radio off and then back on again.
Sometimes that even means pulling the plug on the back of the radio.

There is no difference when playing through my own server or via
mysqueezebox.com.

There is also no difference playing the mp3 stream or the aac stream.

First I thought the radio might be defective so I've had the store
replace the unit but that didn't help.

So, I'm wondering: Why am I able to play all the music from my own
server, play several radio streams without any problems except for radio
streams from that one source?

Does someone else experience the same problem with a radio playing the
di.fm trance stream? Can you play the stream for more than 2 or 3 hours
without your radio crashing?

I have 2 wireless accesspoints (a belkin and a Fritzbox) and the
problem occures on both accesspoints. The wireless signal is good,
usually well above 80% and a 54mbit connection. Other devices on the
same wireless network keep working if the radio fails (laptop, one of
the 2 squeezebox classics and a PDA)

This afternoon I'm going to try an ethernet cable instead of the
wireless interface to rule out any potential wireless problems.

Additional information:

The radio uses Firmware 7.4.2-r8423, the Server runs the 7.4.2 software
on ubuntu linux.
