Howdy all, quick teaser for the online radio listeners among you...
Around about now each day, I'd normally flick on the aul' [broken link removed] before heading off into the traffic (! )
Problem is, I can't seem to do it from work - only from home. Both PCs are running XP Pro, both have WMP10 installed, with all the updates/plugins. I don't think it can be a firewall problem either, because there's no problem streaming/downloading their .
When I click on the flash-based 'Listen now' link, a little Media Player window opens up and I see 'opening', 'connecting to media' and then 'ready'... but then nothing. Zilch if I click on the play button. I've always had this problem at work, but it all works fine at home, with identical software.
I used TodayFM's to report the problem to and even emailed the station direct, but never got any reply from either of them. I asked the techies in work, too, and they were stumped (as to what the hell I was doing hanging around the place after hours, as much as the technical problem itself...!)
Lately, I saw their website had changed streaming-solutions-provider and that the 'listen live' page had a new link saying Click here to Listen Live>>>*. So I've emailed the query to them too. I can open and even download their today_fm.asx playlist to the desktop, but WMP then tells me that 'the requested address is not valid in its context'...

So - any ideas? (other than 'buy an effin' portable radio!')
[Edit: whatcha think of that Gift Grub spoof on the bould Eddie H.? A bit drawn-out..?]
