Tech: Listening to BBC - help

From: Peterr

Having just discovered how to listen to BBC on the net, (ie loaded RealPlayer, activated it, etc) I can get the regular shows, but have failed to understand the one-offs, specifically Place Called England. The graphic comes up with pix of Carthy et al but where do I go to get the thing to play?
Please can someone help, as there's 4 1/2 hours listening to get in before Wednesday.

BBC admit to some problems with ListenAgain. Paul Jones show wasn't available last week but is back again this week. I was told by beeb info. line that war reports would result in ListenAgain being abandoned to secure bandwidth.

You may want to disconnect the RNDAL features of RealPlayer. They will slow down the computer's performance in all areas as RealPlayer keeps trying to "phone home" (24/7) and send a report of where it has been and what it has been doing.

Truly enjoying the BBC coverage of the war - for another perspective I would also suggest http://www.arabnews.com

Thanks for the tips but I'm not sure I understand them.. If anyone listened to A PLace called England after it was broadcast ie via listen again, how did you get it to play for you?

The main reason that you can't listen to it is that the BBC haven't made it availabe online.
