    hoped to use my new (today) 770 to listen to BBC etc - when I try this the site requests download of realplayer10 - there is a linux version of this which i have downloaded but i don't know how to install it into the 770. Any ideas?

    Try going to the following website on your 770. You don't need to install anything. Just click on the station of interest.

    Could anyone here post the URLs for the BBC stations installed by default with the Media Player and the Internet Radio applet? I've deleted mine by mistake
    TIA.

    "Could anyone here post the URLs for the BBC stations installed by default with the Media Player and the Internet Radio applet? I've deleted mine by mistake"

    Some of them don't work any more, the BBC seems to regularly change their addresses.

    You can pick them up again by going to each particular BBC radio station site, clicking on the station's "listen now realplayer" link. You may get a warning window appear telling you you don't have the right plugin, just close it. Go back to the window with the listen now player in it, and hold down the stylus on the "listen in standalone player" link. You'll get a small menu, one of the options is "add to media library", click on this and the station address is added to the Internet Radio applet as well.

    The first time you use a BBC station address it will just look like a URL, but from the second time onwards you'll see the actual name of the station.

    It's a lot better just to go to http://www.tuned.mobi . From here you can get all U.K and Ireland streams. The site is optimized for mobile devices. I use it a lot.
