22. To all who've said thanks.You're most welcome! Ican't believe I hadn't mentioned it before, actually
I've known about it for ages and forgot to tell everyone because I get it on TV and they had improved their livestream on their website.

Better late than never, though. ;-)

29. I just checked to see if the download for the player is working and got a "try again later" msg but!
I tried again a second later and it was working fine. Moral of the story, don't give up. Thye're just proving to be a bit more popular than they're used to... ;-)

30. Thank you so much for this, Turborama. I was hoping to find just such a thing.
The other feed was so blippy and was repeating like crazy.

Thanks again.

I'll have this on all day now.

Cheers.

31. It is excellent, isn't it. Really happy to have been able to help out
There's a few other channels worth having a look at but AJE is the best.

When they have shows on live you can comment using the player and sometimes they bring up your questions in the discussion. How cool is that?

34. Example of what the standalone player looks like...
As you can see, it doesn't use much bandwidth, either...
