I tend to agree with DoubleU that it's perhaps something with your setup/internet connection. I'm in South-East Asia and my Beoport has no problem locating some 60 BBC radio stations on a quick count incl. BBC Radio 2 as well as all the local ones(out of 681 U.K. ones) - they are playing just fine.

So I finally disabled several blocking functions (of which I do not know exactly what they do) from my firewall in my router.

And yes, it works!!!

So, credits to DoubleU and the final trigger from SAF, thank you! 🤒 

That's good to hear. Enjoy the shows on BBC! 🙂

I'm in the UK right now and it is rather hit or miss as to whether I can receive BBC Radio 4 with N.Radio - it seems to work when selecting the channel, leaving it for the one next to it, then going back to it, so I suspect that there still is an issue with N.Radio's buffering.

BTW, I happily receive Radio 4 over in Spain using a Pure internet radio, so I don't believe that geofiltering is applied on the BBC radio stations for live content.
