Via the internet

For broadband users throughout the world, all our channels can also be viewed live via web simulcast.  Click the 'Watch Online' link on our home page to watch. There is no charge for viewing our programmes. The web streams are available in Flash, Windows Media Player or the newer Microsoft Silverlight (all free). To receive our simulcasts, you must have a broadband connection capable of supporting > 400KBps. If the broadcasts "stutter" and are interrupted, it is likely that your connection is not fast enough to keep up!  In this case, you should close all other web-connected programmes, which might "steal" bandwidth, while watching our show.
