Web Radio; BBC3 hidef trial. proms

On my Uniitiqute:

Naim's Choice> Radio3 HiDefTest

"No Station

PressList to Select"

Do you know the IP address : port and codec? I'll try and add it on the add station form.

192 -320AAC normally, 330 during the proms broadcasts by someone's tuner on a thread on another forum. Fell back to 320 when the proms finished.

There's a description of the BBC R3 proms feed here:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbc...h_quality_audio.html

if anyone's interested. 

Still can't find it. No IPs that resolve to BBC or any other media co in netstat.

Would my Qute being on DHCP be an issue. I think I read on one of the my posts I've read about the higher def streams that a static IP was needed.

I'd have listened to it on FM but my aerial went from vertically polarised to horizontally polarised a few months ago.

Yes I get iRadio.I stream some of the 320 stations quite a bit...AVRO, Deep Vibes and others with no problem peak or off peak.

The only iRadio problems I have are 

BBCR3 HiDef Test, BBCR4 HiDef Test fault mode stated above

Linn stations  I'lll see how it goes after ADSL2+ provisioning order fulfilment, which includes a new gateway. 

Frank/Simon, 

I have both an NDX and a Uniti and have noticed the same problem on the Uniti but not on the NDX. They are however in different locations and therefore using different networks. 

Interestingly, there is also an extra item on the Uniti's initial iRadio menu which is not on the NDX called "Test Naim's Choice" on which the HiDef Radios 3 and 4 equally don't work. 

It would be good to understand why this is.

Strange. In my naivity I would have assumed that the iRadio menus would have been the same for all the streaming products. I also assumed nothing was stored locally on the device in this respect.. How does this work and how do they get updated?

From Nslookup it resolves to IP address 87.248.208.77, or 87.248.208.76 

From netstat (listening on Winamp, which also says the stream is aacp) the foreign address and port resolves to 87.248.208.73:80

netstat -a -b -n - o - v
TCP    192.168.1.64:4248      87.248.208.73:80       ESTABLISHED

I tried netstat yesterday when connected with winamp but the foreign address was just *.*

>portqry -n 87.248.208.73 -p TCP
IP address resolved to sc6.lon.llnw.net
 TCP port 80 (http service): LISTENING

>portqry -n 87.248.208.73 -e 8000
 TCP port 8000 (unknown service): NOT LISTENING

There are 10 servers though

sc1 to sc5 in range 68.142.84.82 to 86

sc6 to sc10 in range 87.248.208.73 to 77

I guess an TCP/IP equivalent of a hunt group

I've tried to add the stations using all the IP addresses above in vtuner, with AAC, MP3 without success

I think I will isten to something else.

I have been trying to get BBCR3 Hidef Test and BBCR4 Hidef Test via iRadio Naim's Choice but without success.

When I select these chanels my Qute gives 'No Station Press List to Select'.

My Uniti just returns to the list. 

Other Naim's Choice stations work, so I don't think that my difficulty is caused by a home network problem.

Does anyone have the BBC stations working now?

Also, does anyone know the URLs of these two stations?

Thank you for your reply.  What are (or were!) you using to receive it? 

Thanks.  After a bit of googling I have found a URL:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r3_aaclca.pls

which appears to be a 320kbps aac stream.  I have set this up in Naim vtuner where I can play it on my PC using VLC.

When I select this station, my Qute just gives 'No Station....' and my Uniti refuses to play it.

However if I had the station to the Frontier Silicon portal for my Roberts 83i radio, this radio plays the station perfectly!

I've the same problem, always presumed it was because I don't have a UK IP address.

Most BBC radio is available outside the UK.  The link I gave came from a web site much used by foreigners!

Try the link on a PC using VLC - though I don't know if Naim Choices actually uses that URL. 

Just had a thought and tried to connect to the HiDef chanels using the front panel and remote rather than the n-stream, have you tried this?

it just worked for me.

having said that it then connected using n-stream so i don't know whether the n-stream would have worked first of.

May be worth a try!

After contacting Naim Support, I am please to say that I am now listening to BBC Radio 3 Hi Def using my Qute.
