Judging by the messageboard this problem seems to affect those listening abroad so I'd report it. Sadly (why do they do this??) if you need to follow up your q

Greetings all! I have just been trying to "Listen Again" to File on Four (BBC Radio 4, 8pm Tuesday 2 March):
I got the message "Insufficient bandwidth to play this programme, click here to find out more"
So I did that, and the Beeb put me through a series of speed tests, with results:
- Your connection 3028 kbps
Your available bandwidth is 3028kbps. 2. TV - HD 3500 Uses 115% of your available bandwidth.kbps [with "Red Cross"] 3. TV 1500 kbps Uses 49% of your available bandwidth. [with "Green Tick"] 4. TV 800 kbps Uses 26% of your available bandwidth. [with "Green Tick"] 5. Radio 128 kbps Uses 4% of your available bandwidth. [with "Green Tick"]
And this was on "Low Bandwidth version", tried after "Normal Bandwidth" had hung.
So, on the face of it, it looks as though the Beeb are saying I can't listen to a Radio programme (for which I have 25 times the required bandwidth) because I don't have enough bandwidth for HD TV!!!
Any comments? (And, by the way, were shall we be after the Beeb have halved their website?)
