OW,

after you installed it, did you add channels to the prog. Some of the links are dead so you may want to try a few of them again.

Regards Stephen ;)

OleWilly,

I'm grateful to you for mentioning the program. I wasn't aware of it. But now I have installed it and it works very well although some of the channels won't let me connect.

Hi

Thank You for reply. I installed from synaptic. None of my stations work. When I mark a channel and then 'Jump to current channel' nothing happens. Which channels are  You able to watch ?

Did you try just double clicking on the channel name in the list?

I am presently warching SOngwriter Sessions from the first group of channels.

I have also tried recording ....  which works most of the time it seems .....  my connection is not fast so I am limited in speed of download.

regards.

I get just about all NA English channels to work.

When using the jump to current channel button I fined it only sets me to the current active channel. But switching from one channel to the other I double click on the channel.

Did you try reinstalling from synaptic?

Hi

I tried to reinstall with apt-get. When i double click there is a notification saying that the station is playing. But no picture and no sound. Also if I start from a terminal as su there comes a splash screen and I am offered to add new channels. But then if I restart the program those channels are gone and in the lower right side is stated that 160 channels available.
I do not know what to do with this if started from a terminal:

[GMMKeys]      INFO       : Trying old dbus interface/path[GMMKeys]      CRITICAL   : Unable to grab media player keys: Method "GrabMediaPlayerKeys" with signature "su" on interface "org.gnome.SettingsDaemon" doesn't exist

and this :

[GMMKeys]      CRITICAL   : Unable to grab media player keys: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name
