Ok chaps, thanks for the information.
As Alien is working at better quality then I have no problems with
slimpicks. I was just posting for information to those who are trying
to get SC7 totally bug free.
As a boring Brit I enjoy Radio 4. I must try to see what the rest of
the world is doing!!

This
Menu handling of AlienBBC was re-written which might make it a bit
better as a result of better caching.
No change in the actual streaming - the same mplayer does all the work
and whether it plays smoothly or stutters is still between mplayer,
your ISP and the BBC servers.
SC 7.0 improved synchr
I'm up to date with the latest SC7 build and Alien BBC appears to be
working much better than before??
Is this the latest build or is the BBC streaming stuff better?

If it is any consolation - it fails for me too. It look like the BBC

Try changing the station Timeout - it under
