Instead of being negative, how about we individually write to BBC (Radio 4) and compliment them on their show! I'm sure it would massage some egos and at the same time we could give them some fresh ideas bout their next program...even offering to help out. -- Regards Llywelyn Owen -- ubuntu-uk@

Does anyone know how to get the BBC parliament streams working in Edgy? It seems I can watch all of the recorded video, but I can't access the live feeds. I can't access any of the realplayer video either, just the WMV. Has anyone had any luck? I've got all of the win32 codecs.
