Thanks for alleviating the boredom ;) I was thinking the same myself. Still, it better than being chlopformed by a BBC spook for mis-speaking (Hillary Clinton style) the BitTorrent word.

As the BBC News 24/BBC World feeds on http://www.livestation.com/ http://www.livestation.com/ show. Indeed, and with just a ten second offset from realtime last time I checked AND in higher quality... Can't argue with that! I only use Livestation to stream N24 now. :)
