Please note that due to restrictions in our music licences, overseas listeners are not able to access our live stream.
AOL users will also have difficulties due to AOL's IP address registered as another country, in this case the United States.
AOL users should contact AOL to ask if there a work-around to this problem.
If you're having problems with our stream, there is likely to be a simple solution. The most common problem is that your computer does not have the correct software installed. All the software required is completely free and if you don't have it, you can download it using links below.
You need to be accessing the site on one of the following browsers:
Internet Explorer 6 (PC) click here to download the latest IE6 service updates
Internet Explorer 7 (PC) click here to download
Firefox v2.0 (PC, Mac, Ubuntu Linux) click here to download
You must be running Windows Media Player 9, or above. To download Windows Media Player, click here
To check that you have the latest Microsoft updates click here.
If you are on 56K dial up (not Broadband!) you may find the stream keeps stopping, buffering or is very slow to load in the first place. Please check your internet connection speed, as slow connections and older dial up modems can cause the audio "never" play or constantly buffer. If you are using a dial-up connection (modem), you will usually get varying connection speeds. Often, the speed is much faster than your 56k modem is capable of producing.
If media player connects, buffers and starts playing but you hear no audio you should check the volume on your media player is turned up, your speakers are connected and turned on. If this doesn't resolve the problem go to your control panel, sounds and audio devices and check that your sound playback device is set to the correct sound card. You should also check the sound volume options and make sure your sound card is faded up and not muted.
