Radio 4 on Uniti (Not)

Posted by: Jon Myles on 11 June 2011

Re: A similar post on Hi-Fi Corner - thought I'd put it here where it might be more appropriate.

At least two of us have found Radio 4 on the Uniti had disappeared over the past few days.

Uniti says Input Initialising and then says Station Not Available.

Radio 4 Extra still works perfectly.

Anyone else found the same problem? Or (more importantly) has an answer.

Turning Uniti on and off doesn't help by the way.

Yes, same problem here Jon. I've tried every single way of accessing R4. However you can play old R4 programs by pressing list and back on the controller. Very strange!

Further investigations would appear to reveal that this is not a Naim issue but a BBC one. None of my Squeezeboxs can access Radio 4 either. 

 

Come on Auntie, get to sorted!

Thanks Jon

 

I am so glad I asked rather than assume that I had a problem - I can still get the Radio 4 LW feed.

I'm glad we're not the only ones! Seems to be a BBC problem.

I'll e-mail them and see what response transpires.

Works fine on tunedinradio on my ipad. So something rather specific is up. The beeb do have a habit of changing stuff, iPLayer on my mac went wonky last year when they changed the incryption method

Ohhh dear.

 

Radio 4 LW has now gone the way of Radio 4 FM.

 

The world maybe about to end ...

HI all

 

we've analysed the issue and some of the URL for BBC Radio 3 live aren't working  at the BBC end. We have reported this to them.

Hi all,

 

My first post so apologies for any naivety with the question, but happy to report on what appears to be a constructive forum..

 

May I ask if Radio 4 is back on the Internet and the world has been saved, well 't'North anyway (since my Uniti fails to pick anything 'live') or do I need to go to the world according to DAB?

 

Must say I appear to be having a few problems with certain transmissions, of which most could possibly be attributed to the reasons stated above with regards to the medium being used, such as not being able to pick up Paradise at 320 (but then again I can get Linn AT 320)

 

However, since Radio 4 would appear to be a staple diet then I am concerned if it appears the 'system' fails in this regard-URL's or whatever. Incidentally, am on BT and via wired Cat5e.

 

Please can anybody advise an update on the previous reported query.

 

Regards,

Andrew

The Radio 4 LW feed has come back for me - however the Radio 4 FM feed still comes up with "No Station".

I've just had a brief chat with BBC on this. They have replicated the issue and it's been flagged for resolution. I'll update with more information as I get it.

Did you get any more news on this?

 

Thanks

I'm still without Radio 4.

The words "flagged for resolution" sound ominous knowing the BBC.
