Default Anyone stream Radio 1 or 2 online?

Last day or so it's been really flakey for me. Drops out and then every time you try to restart the stream Real Players pops up a "General Error"

Anyone else had a problem or is it just a "Transient Network Issue"?

Flushing my DNS cache this morning has helped (touch wood).

I wouldn't even install RealPlayer if I had a choice.
