Well i thought i had started to get a handle on this but seems it has just thrown another curved ball out .
I had noticed that when it was in bumbo mode and not getting with the BBC
Earlier I asked if you had some screensaver or similar which activates at a predetermined time. The basic question here really was: do you lose the BBC channels after a certain period(s) of time; have you been making notes about how long it takes before you lose the BBC? Five minutes, ten, twenty...?
Screen saver is off as is dpms and also if it were the screensaver thenit would effect all channels not just the BBC ones , The time it takes is not a definate period of time it can take hours or could be mineuts
For example, under Preferences>Playlist>Services Discovery there is an entry for SAP (whatever that is?) which is set to 1800 seconds. May this have something to do with it?
Thats to do with steaming over a network
Have you tried resetting the Preferences all to their default values?
Yep several times , and been in and done an rm on any cache or config files i could find to do with it .
One other thing - a very long shot. Did I read somewhere (BBC News Online?) that you in GB still have to buy a licence to view TV, is this correct? How would the guvvimint know if you have such a licence? Could they terminate a transmission to someone's place if they mistakenly thought that someone didn't have such a licence? (We dropped this TV licence nonsense some 40 years ago so I don't know how this works now but I do recall something about vans driving around - like theydid during WWII - looking for TV signals or something :-) .)

Yes we still pay a license fee to recivev Tv and Radio but they have no way with terrestial stuff at the moment of switching individual sets off also if it was a license thing then i would loose it all Om on dropping it 40 odd years ago the BBC here is funded by the License fee they have no commercial income from things like advertising they are NON commercial no adds jumping in and screwing your viewing as we get with the commercial stations some of the you have a program that is supposed to be 1 hour long 25 mins of that is taken by darn commercials dont want more of that thanks Pete . -- Powered by openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.34-12-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 2" 08:35 up 1 day 11:36, 3 users, load average: 0.21, 0.18, 0.13 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
