WTF, it is cutting in and out and skipping etc.
But 3 times now it just started playing very slow and actually sounds like when you slow down your old school record player. I had to reset the channel to get it back.
Anyone else having this problem or is it my ISP? :mad: |

I think it depends where you live. I heard recently that there was a problem in the philly area with the repeaters. Aparently they are up again but maybe they're still having a problem in the part of the country.
Here in Toronto it is clear, thank goodness.... |

| I have no problems at home with a DSL line, but I do have the same problems at work because I have to use a dial up connection. |

| Sometimes mine freezes and I have to close it and open a new window. Happens on all 3 the computers I use. |

| Yes, it happened to me today. |
|
|
| brboo |
| yeah, today it was happening like every 5-10 minutes |
|

| It happens to me too. What happens is the stream starts out at 49 k/bits sec and slowly drops down to like 22 k/bits. I have no idea why but the voices sound like a tape being played at half speed or worse...can't even understand it! |

That'd be great, but I'm afraid it would get OVERUSED everyday. I only "whip it out" on special occasions as this. :p |

Mines doing it sporadically as well.
I thought it was just me. |

guess I misunderstood. The online streaming should be consistent but I bet it breaks up when there are too many users connected. Remember this is a beta test so they haven't fixed all the bugs yet. I bet there are way too many people connected with the bandwidth they have. But as they get more bandwidth it should get better. They probably set it up for a small number of users and as they see more are listening they add more channels.
It should get better in time.
But here, in Toronto I have not listened enough online to give an opinion on the streaming audio.
This is the ferry from Rochester, NY to Toronto.... |

I was just thinking it could also be a setting in Windows Media player, but I don't know enough about those settings. I remember ages ago I did some tweaking in windows media player.
You might look into that.
You can post questions about such things at these 2 sites.

| If your stream is stopping and starting, it's a good idea to get a prostate exam. |

Yesterday was the first time it happened to me. It was like words were being bleeped out. It got to the point, I stopped trying to listen.
It's too bad some people have so little compassion. This thread might be doing Sirius a favor by alerting them to th extent of the problem. |

Yes, that is my point! It happened today again as well. |

| cocksmacker |
| Mine does it all the time too. Plus, I get that "Are you still listening" pop up box, coming up 5,000,000,000,000,000 times in about 5 minutes. After I finally get through it all by playing Space Invaders with it, it goes away for the day, and never comes back. |

It's happening to me too. It's not your bandwith. They probably are doing something.
Just glad to hear any of the show online. |

Well, unfortunately, some folks get downright myopic in their pursuit of what they think passes for wit. |

With all due respect, are you illiterate?
The on-line stream has been blotchy for some of us. |
