Jackie yes, you have to add it manually. I found it by doing a search for streams. BBC streams came up with nothing.

Hi PaulGreat idea if I could find it? I have no menu you describe within the Radio Stations section on my unit, so do you need to have it added?Intrigued.

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 streaming.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 Test matches are included, I think that is broadcast on Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, so no need to appear here. What will be streamed once the cricket season closes, and the football begins, will be interesting to observe. Who knows what the BBC have in mind for the 2012 Olympics, with respect to using these streams, as a possible supplement to the Radio 5 live broadcasts.Lastly, after having moved from one stream to another while searching for your particular broadcast, do not let the beeps run out, you get about 10 beeps to decide to select, or move along the menu. If you let the beeps run out, it appears you have to switch off the Sonata and start from the beginning again.Paul Benson.N‰^j÷…éb²×%‰É(žØ^Šižv&z\Ÿ¢YhÂ)à–)䙨¥¶†œqë,ºJު笵úÞzX¬¶Ê+‚Ë›ç-éì¹» ®&Þ!ûaŠÉbžGhzÉíŠ䶧±éÝjg¬±¨ ¶†œqë,ºJު笵úÞzX¬¶Ê+©ÝŠ{ay+›ç-–)Þ·*^º{.nÇ+‰·…¢º-…êåŠË\¢išÛ,¹ÈZ²öœjبžj yÉbrJ'¶¢šg‰«^—'è–Z0Šx%Šy&j)m¡§ zË.’·ª¹ë-~·ž–+-²Šà²æãyË}ª®Çu©²ÆzÚqDzéz«²×yé²Û® ¶y+ç** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
