Hi Yusuf

Yes, I've got the menu installed now, thanks, it's very good.  It was easy to 
go to the website, log in, and find what I wanted.


Kind Regards,

It seems to cover everything as yesterday I found coverage of the flight of the 
Vulcan aircraft. I was quite surprised I can tell you.

> Hello all,

> The Sonata has added a new feature to the radio listings. It is called:
>
> BBC Events Streaming
>
> and is classified as Sports.
>
> This is the title of the menu, and once selected, gives you the 
> options of all 20 BBC live events coverage.
>
> It is not possible to tell what is on each stream. One has to go 
> through them all, about 5 seconds per selection, less than 2 minutes 
> in all, to work out which streams are live. The BBC are continually 
> changing what is streamed on which stream, so just going through them 
> is the only way. It will of course, take a short while, to determine 
> if the commentary is that of the event you want. Once a particular 
> sports event is allocated a stream, that event should always stay on 
> that stream number until it is concluded, which in the case of County 
> cricket, is 4 days.
>
> Once the menu is opened up, the male voice will announce the streams 
> one by one. Upon selecting, say stream 1, there will be 3 responses.
>
> 1. The Sonata will beep about twice, and if the stream is live, start

>
> 2. You will hear a recorded message from the BBC. This means the 
> stream is open, but the sporting event is suspended for some reason, 
> in the case of cricket, rain or bad light. Commentary may start again later 
> in the day.
>
> 3. If the stream is closed, the beeps will continue. After about 5 
> beeps, just move along the menu to the next station and select O.K..

> At presently, all streams are for County cricket. I do not think the

> Sports Extra, so no need to appear here. What will be streamed once

> Who knows what the BBC have in mind for the 2012 Olympics, with

> Lastly, after having moved from one stream to another while searching
