BBC News 24

[#1]

Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone else is having trouble watching BBC News 24 online this morning? I've tried both the BBC News Website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7459669.stm) and on iPlayer (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlive/bbc_news24/) - all that appears is the loading screen. I can stream other channels without issue, but not News 24. I've tried on 2 different computers in 2 different browsers - it just doesn't seem to want to work.

Hi, both links are working ok for me.

both sit with a spining circle and no throughput happening fullstop. there is the same still picture of the news reader on both links thoe

[#4]

Thanks Bob,
It's very strange - a router reboot and a computer restart haven't helped at all. The page loads fine, but the flash video just refuses to play (it's also strange that the image that appears "underneath" the loading screen has an out of date timestamp on it as well...see attached screenshot)
@ASBO DOG,
Is the newsreader the same guy that's in my screenshot? Which package are you on? I'm on Unlimited...

On our office fibre connection, I'm also seeing the rotating circle of joy.

[#6]

yep thats what i get. 21cn, opendns, ie8

[#7]

Just tried it again, and it appears to be working now

[#8]

still broken for me 
edit. spoke to soon

[#9]

It's all a bit weird...when it was broken for me I got a couple of other people from different ISPs to test and they could get it to work just fine. That said, I'm assuming that the PN fibre connection isn't routed in the same way as our ADSL connections, so I'm not sure what's going on
EDIT: Just tried opening it again on a different PC and it's doing the same thing as before. I must have just been lucky to get it to work that one time =/

[#10]

how the bbc run the show is werid. because i remember my self geting sources of iplayer that wasnt picked up as streaming on the PN 21cn network yet all the girls and guys on 20cn was uneffected.
so its possable the other isp customers  was getting the stream from a diffrent ip address source
EDIT. yeah its gone back to doing the same again for me

[#11]

Possibly, yeah - I'm on 20CN and currently streaming from 195.245.125.20. According to Wireshark, traffic seems to be prioritised correctly (0x80).

[#12]

thought i'd throw my 2 cents worth in here, tried on 2 PN connections (was actually trying to watch it anyway) got spinning circles, before a message telling me there was insufficient bandwidth to play the file (there was plenty to spare, 4Mbit+ on each)
Switched to a TW line, and all plays ok?
Any thoughts?

[#13]

No idea what's going on - asked some more people on different ISPs to try that link and it works first time - I still get the spinning circle of doom. As ASBO DOG says, it must be to do with the IP address PN customers end up at for their streaming.
I've left it loading for a good 5 minutes now and don't get a "insufficient bandwidth" message - it just sits there and spins.

[#14]

Update: Looks like it's working fine for me now, although someone forgot to put the clocks back on their website I think...

[#15]

Not working properly for me either, every 5/10 seconds get the circle briefly before it continues and I'm the only one using the net at the moment
