I want to listen to BBC radio on line including programmes on demand. This works great on my PC but I want to do it on my i1940. RealOne's website says it does not support the h1940 although I have installedRealOne for PPC on my iPAC. I can get onto the websites with explorer on the iPAC but it doesn't play the audio. Has anybody any ideas how I can listen.

Its seems Pocket RealPlayer will only play local files and not stream them from another device or over the net, only works as standalone player that plays local .ra files . Also not sure that it even 'plugs in' to Pocket IE for the embbeded player that BBC uses (although I work around that on my PC's)

Rather frustrating since I am a big BBC fan as well - and it doesnt seem Real is paying much attention to Pocket PC's :(

Real One for pocketpc works fine on wifi enabled ppc. It can handle streams up to 200 kbs.
Make sure you get the latest version here (http://www.realnetworks.com/industries/mobile/operators/products/player/ppc/index.html)
It will NOT work if your pocketpc is connected through your cradle !

Just check out the real media section (http://www.pocketpcmedia.nl/real.php3)on pocketpcmedia for some streaming video and radio samples, like the BBC and ABC news videos and the BBC radio station
