Well, I've had a heck of a day ...... and STILL no 5 Live !! Even the links that you gave me in your last post Mike will not work .... Firefox started playing up this morning - the address bar vanished completely. I dis-installed it and re-installed -then I have nothing but the speed dial (ext) page ... one the speed dial page there was a search bar which I assumed was Google - it always has been - but something called Search Ya came up
. I then started looking things up on my Chrome Book as Firefox gave me no other options with address bar missing. On looking up this Search Ya apparently it is malware ! I couldn't get rid of the Speed Dial page as the view option was missing - Then I did a Malwarebytes full scan which took forever !! and found 5 nasties which it then got rid of but nothing obvious (to me
=. In the end before I put my shoe through the screen !!! I got rid of Firefox altogether - I couldn't use it, couldn't get into it to try and fixes because none of the toolbars were evident. THEN I installed Opera - which I'm using now ... BUT even with this I can't get R5 Live.
I had an email earlier from the BBC quoting my case number ...so they did take me seriously -
" I can confirm that we were aware of streaming issues affecting some international listeners however we believe this was resolved on 14 February. If still having problems please get back to us and we’ll be happy to investigate further as the stream appears to be working correctly at present" I shall email them again whenever. I'm exhausted
It MUST be an issue with the programme because I can't get it to play on the Chrome-book. If it won't work in Opera, wouldn't work in Firefox, nor in the Chrome browser or Chrome book - they can't all be 'dodgy'- I'm flummoxed ... but perhaps further contact with the BBC will sort it
The other stations are loud and clear on the PC and on the Chrome-book - I can survive without 5 Live
but it's so annoying and I really do want to know what's causing it. I've considered a proxy, but to be honest I'm not that clever and to be more honest at the moment I can't be bothered with hassle. This whole episode has tired me out (Wuss
) so I'm going to shut everything down and read my Kindle ...
Many thanks for all the suggestions. I still haven't looked at the other links yet Mike, but I'll possibly get around to it tomorrow. Bonne nuit
