CBC65 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 BonjourI have tried to listen to Radio 2 via the internet this morning, but got this message: "Le site http://nmswww0.mh.bbc.co.uk demande un nom d'utilisateur et un mot de passe. Le site indique : « Staging Servers »". I have used both Internet Explorer and Firefox, but with the same result each time.Does anyone know what this is about? Thanks.CBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Having been successful in the past myself in getting access via the BBC website to their radio stations, I now also find that I can't do this (wanted to listen to the Folk Awards programme) without using BBC i-player which would only work with a UK ISP. Maybe somebody else has found a way round this without needing a poxy server etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBC65 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Mmm, I'm not sure it's connected to the 'being outside UK' issue because if I try to view a TV programme, the screen message reads "Currently BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UKonly, but all BBC iPlayer Radio programmes are available to you." However, click through to the radio page and the request for user ID and password pops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I get the same message [:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Yeah it started this morning. Some Muppet at the BBC has enabled a password on the server.Honestly, this iPlayer is the biggest heap of **** that has ever seen the light of day and they seem to throw out new releases without testing.Doesn't work on Linux neither [:@] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I am trying to connect in Essex and I am also being asked for a password. Once the BBC knows there is a problem I am sure you will be able to listen to them via the Internet again.Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judith Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I don't suppose there has been some "rule" applied - today I tried to listen to Classic FM, and it suddenly says as I am outside the UK and therefore cannot do so. I've been listening for the last few months via the internet. Strange that it happens at he same times as the BBC radio starts being awkward too.

It didn't need one this morning though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
