Intermittent Live Stream?
Hi, list. I don't know how to phrase this problem of mine, Well, let me say that I am unable to receive a continuous live stream either from a radio station or from a television feed. The stream starts and plays for a few seconds and then stops for several seconds or even for a minute or 2. Then it resumes for a few seconds and then disappears again, thus it is intermittent rather than continuous. I am not sure whether it is a problem with my internet connection, or it has anything to do with my turning off the pop-up-blocker, or because I disabled Spybot - Search & Destroy in Manage Add-ons, or may be because I installed and then uninstalled Windows Defender or something else! I am not having this problem as much in a recorded stream. Your help is much appreciated and my humble apology if I sound to be hazy and unclear. Thanks much! Regards, Fazil. === Thanks!

Re: HD radio
My main objection to any kind of this type of radio is not knowing what's being played. I would like to know how to find out who the artists are and what the song titles.

hi Fazil i'm experiencing the same thing with audio stream on my winamp and screamer radio. i too am not sure what's causing all this. but my friends are telling me that this buffering thing could be due to my poor connection. this could be true as i'm noticing that the connection keeps fluctuating all day especially during peak hours in the daytime. - Original Message - From: "Fazil M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Have you tried increasing the buffering time? this will cause the player to hold more data in memory so streams will run more smoothly. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of golden Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 8:36 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Intermittent Live Stream? hi Fazil i'm experiencing the same thing with audio stream on my winamp and screamer radio. i too am not sure what's causing all this. but my friends are telling me that this buffering thing could be due to my poor connection. this could be true as i'm noticing that the connection keeps fluctuating all day especially during peak hours in the daytime. - Original Message - From: "Fazil M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

you could be having problems because you are using a dialup connection, what ever player you are using may have a buffering problem. that is my guess. - Original Message - From: "Fazil M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: HD radio
It's just regular commercial radio with a few more stations thrown in. Eventually it will be there in some form but it won't be this form. If you are disappointed in regular broadcast radio then just think of this as what there is now with better sound oh yea, and for sighted people more on the display.

RE: HD radio
I think so. I created a folder in favorites titled "Net Radio" and merely paste icons of my favorite stations right into it. I paste the icon directly from whichever page actually plays the content, so I don't have to click on the link each time I visit the site, such as ESPN live streams, WTAM live streams, windows Media stand up comedy and etc. I chose stations that have a good bit rate, so quality of sound is excellent.

RE: HD radio
If by boat anchors you mean your analog televisions, you don't have to put them out to pastor. There will be digital to analog convertors available for roughly $50 per and the government will offer vouchers available soon valued at $40. so, consumers who want to use analog televisions can do so. In addition, if you already have cable or satellite, you're already set, because their server will convert from analog to digital for you.

RE: HD radio
If I understand correctly, you don't necessarily have to purchase the hardware. Especially if your job allows workers to visit any site, you can listen to sirius online via their player. I'm almost certain it's accessible, because a blind person on one of these lists utilizes the Sirius player online. with that said, there are a few stations you cannot listen to online, but I cant remember which ones. sirius.com will give more information.

RE: Recording TV shows
I also have dish HD DVR. We received a message across the screen a few weeks ago when my wife booted it up stating newer features now available and advised we connect via network port on the back. I don't have a router as of yet, but once I get one, I will experiment more to see if we blind folk could then access other features via our comps and the set top box... Maybe I should contact tech support to inquire of the features via the ethernet port on the back of the box...

Hi, I just went to sirius.com and utilized the 3 day free trial using their media player. The site is fully accessible as well as the player. You have to hit a link that announces a code you must submit to get the free trial. Before doing so, click on free trial and fill out form fields. they will then send you a password via email. then go back to player page and enter user name, which is your email address, followed by the given password, followed by the announced code, which is a five digit number. Listen carefully, because voice spoken is soft. I'm not sure about the sound quality, but I am a talk radio junky, so it will suffice. I had my dishnetwork on the same Sirius channel and it sounds better via dish than online. I didn't read pricing information as of yet. hope this info is useful for some...

Would you clarify? Thanks. - Original Message - From: "Cornell Ligon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I think so.

I should be clearer about the radio's limitations, based on the model I bought about two years ago. It's terrible on AM, so you'd buy it only for FM. Also, there are five-second delays any time you switch to an HD broadcaster, as I believe is standard with HD. However, I also find the radio doesn't come up right away when I turn it on, and very occasionally won't come up at all until I unplug the AC adaptor and reconnect it to the outlet. I have another radio right next to it for the times I want immediate reception, such as a news broadcast at the top of the hour. But for me, the pure clarity of the Boston Acoustics HD's musical sound outweighs its eccentricities.

Re: HD radio
We have a bunch of digital music cable channels that pose that problem for me. Title and artist are printed on the screen, but my wife shouldn't have to be my DJ every time I want to know what song is playing. Most of the XM stations that I've listened to will at least back announce after every 4 or 5 songs, and the decade channeles have jocks that talk even more. Plus XM play lists are much much larger than those offered by commercial stations. I thought the antenna might have a problem working inside, but the signal strength is at its highest possible level with the antenna sitting against our living room window.

Re: HD radio
Adrian, in Internet Explorer, to add a station's direct audio link to favorites, do the following. 1. Right click the link to the station's audio feed. 2. arrow down to the choice that says "add to favorites and press enter. 3. Follow the usual process for placing the new favorite in any folder that you like. What I do then is to right click the favorite, send the link to my desktop and place it in a folder which is devoted to the stations that I like. Then when I want to listen to one, I don't even need to open the browser. If the station has an embedded player and won't let me add the listen link to my favorites or to my desktop, I can at least ad a shortcut for the listen page to my desktop folder, again, avoiding the need to open the browser.

RE: Recording TV shows
I am pretty sure you will need Jaws Pro in order to use Windows Media Center Edition, as this edition is considered to be a version of Windows XP Professional. You may need a more current version of Jaws, too. Not sure about that. I am using Media Center 2005 with Jaws Pro 8 and it is great.
