Disappointed doesn't even come close to how I feel about the streaming service

Hope they invest in some extra capacity for tomorrow.

What were you hoping for? Of course it was going to crash.

[James H]

Radio X website/app are down. Listening via DAB. Hope someone is recording it over dab or sky.

I wish I'd set something up to record it just in case, didn't expect them to have so many problems with streaming!

Fortunately working from home today so switched to Sky. Surprised that they can't cope but I guess that's a good sign.

The show itself has been pretty good and seems to back up the idea that Chris has free reign (or about as much as you can ever get at Global), lets just hope it continues...

At least Stephen Miron retweeted this so the bosses seem to be happy to continue 'the role' that Ben/Andy etc. had,

Please record your sky broadcast. Thanks!

I've given up on the streaming. Hopefully someone has a bloomin' recording!

[Blizzard]

Bummer, can't access X website to listen, gutted, in room with only net. Oh well, will listen to recording I am sure.

[VMPhil]

Wait is nobody on here recording FM or DAB as a back up like suggested?

[Adam]

Holding out for an improvement on the live stream. Seems to be OK now.

[James H]

I'm now recording my Sky box, so we'll have from 07.43 at least if all else fails. Sorry for not doing it in the first place!

[doby]

Streaming is ok again now

[MoylesFanatic]

Use a vpn and you can access the website/app. If you're on iPhone, just search free vpn in the App Store.

[MoylesFanatic]

Hopefully Radio X upload the show in full as a listen again thing, as I think some of us know how to grab it.

[gbm]

I thought I was having problems because of data signal on the drive in, Glad it's not just me as that wouldn't bode well for every other day for me.
Hopefully they get it sorted soon.

[Turicum]

Streaming seems to work again on my phone. Thanks for recording!

What was the dig at Aled and Rachel?

Thanks to Hola.org thing on Chrome, I've managed to get on to the website and am tuned in, hopefully for good

Wait, Global's geo-locked the stream? I'm not in the UK at the mo and I can tune in just fine.

My guess is global have different servers for different countries. So only the UK servers got bogged down in traffic.

It asked where I was in the UK, I'm not sure if it was the streaming thing or the UK thing, I don't want to touch anything now I've got streaming back!

Far as I know, all Global's stations are served up by the same relay.

The player on the website is locked to the UK only. you CAN stream it outside the UK on the TuneIn app and the official Radio X app without a problem.

Oh, the old Xfm app had that too. It's just so they can pull up the correct stream (with local ads) for London ("RadioXLondon"), Manchester ("RadioXManchester") or the rest of the UK ("RadioXUK").

Ah, that explains it. I don't think I'll be visiting the web site much.

[ladbroke]

iPad app fell over. Android app fell over. Sky for me then!

[Frothy Bevvy]

The stream itself isn't geoblocked but the UK radioplayer is - so you can't stream the popup player on the website outside of the UK but you can enter the stream URL into VLC or listen via TuneIn or even through the Radio X app itself.

You can listen to it outside of the UK. I'm currently doing it (from Switzerland). They ask you for a postcode in the UK. Nothing more, that's easy to google

You can, I'm doing it at the moment
