Hi Tom,

Thanks for the details, I already have the 20 streams, courtesy of a phone call 
to Luke. I noticed the web site name you gave differs from that given by the 
instructions CD. There it definitely says:

www.stationlist.net

In Chapter 12, and this is the site I have tentatively investigated.

Is the address you gave of:

http://blind.stationlist.net 

 an easier way to get to the part of the site which is relevant to us?

Paul Benson.

Hi Paul,

If you fancy adding the BBC Streams yourself, here's how to do it.

Once you log into:
http://blind.stationlist.net

Select the link which reads:
Add a station from our database to your list of stations.
In the Country combo box select, United Kingdom.
In the States combo box select, All States.
In the Genre combo box select, Sports.
Press the Space Bar on, Search Database.
The Streams you want start with:
BBC Event Stream 11
Check the ones you want with the Space Bar.
Finally, press the Space Bar on, Add the selected stations.

It's the same procedure for adding any other radio station or Podcast.

Tom.
