Hi, I'm using an Internet radio to listen to Pumpkin FM and all the stations are great. I'm trying to get Britcom 4 to work but it's not showing in the SkyTune directory! Is there a way to manually enter the stream into my Skytune Internet radio? It says you can't enter a website, only a stream - if that makes sense. Is there a "stream" I can enter until SkyTune gets updated. Thanks Marcus.

Hi, since the changes, I've noticed that when a programme ends, my Alexa thinks that I was only listening to one programme. It shuts down Pumpkin FM then I have to go through the whole rigmarole of asking it to play Pumpkin FM and then the channel I want. This never happened before the changes. Has something changed, or is the problem with Alexa?

Hi Thanks for the updated URL for direct entry onto internet radios. I set it up and it worked for a couple of days, but now on both my devices I am getting a "401 Unauthorised" error. I have checked I am using the correct URL. Is this a server or client side issue? Thanks

Hi Len Everything seems OK with the donations page, I checked a short while ago... The Pumpkin FM app has been removed from the Google play store for now as it did not come up to scratch with their ever changing policies. I would recommend that you use the MyTuner app, available for both Android and Apple devices. https://mytuner-radio.com/radio-app/

Re. my last inquiry - I can see Britcom4 now on my internet radio, but still it's not showing on the older adapter, so when possible I hope to be able to add that directly via web address, but at the moment the "how to listen" faq doesn't list this. Sorry John as I guess you've got your work cut out right now making sure everything goes to plan (nifty new jingles by the way).

Hi Was looking forward to the new channel arrangements, but how do I listen to BritCom 4? I tune in on my Internet radio, but Skytune isn't listing BritCom 4 yet. On your website, the "how to listen" page hasn't been updated, so there's no URL listed for britcom 4 which would enable me to manually tune the radio. With no Android app, no "listen now" link on the website, no listing of B4 on any of the radio apps I use, I'm stumped š¤ I've donated to your last 2 appeals and will do again this summer, if you can get britcom 4 working for me. Cheers Paul

Hi Glen, I used to have my own app for Pumpkin FM, but Google eventually removed it from the Play Store due to some outdated elements that needed updating. The challenge is that Google is constantly changing its policies and requirements, making it hard to keep upāespecially without the time or resources to manage it all. Iād recommend using the MyTuner app instead. BritCom 4 will be available on there soon, and itās accessible on both Android and Apple devices: https://mytuner-radio.com/radio-app/

Hey Bill!

Hi Sam Sorry I did not reply earlier. Those are rogue episodes that someone many years ago encoded with a demo software. The bell was added if you had not paid for the software. We have since found better quality replacement episodes so you should not experience this moving forward.
