Hi All

Just arrived in Cyprus for a couple of months. Sorted out internet etc all working fine. However, after day one I was unable to access bbc radio 2 on line whereas intially it was ok. I get the main menu but when I go to listen live I get a message 'The Sound of Silence' Everything else TV, internet all working perfectly. I've tried a number of fixes but have run out of ideas. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm running windows 7.

Thanks again
George

No problem – Just checked Radio 2, as normally I listen to Radio 3, Radio 4 and the World Service.

MM is my internet supplier and just go http://www.bbc.co.uk, select “More” then “Radio” finally “Station”. This is then followed by a list of all the BBC radio stations.

I'm with MM too, but I have to switch on the VPN supplied to listen to BBC radio channels. I don't know if it's always been like this as I use an app to listen to radio normally on my phone.

Toast Lady. I'm the same as you. If I don't switch on the MM VPN first, all I get is The Sound of Silence message. Have often wondered how other people get round the problem.

Thanks George Olly, that's really useful when using computer, and not wishing to use VPN.
