I used my laptop and Firefox to actually hear the show, but that's much

I've no experience with boxed 'Internet Radios', which are supposedly
capable of receiving the BBC. Do they have any 'login' capability?

Thanks to both of you for those lists.
However, that radio2 url above is the same as I've been using,
except that mine ended '..._mf_q'. '..._p' doesn't work for me, either.

One possible difference is that the stream is 48000Hz audio, while
others often use 44100Hz. That normally wouldn't matter much except
for a little more CPU usage, but maybe there's a problem there
somewhere (in which case there may be problems with playing local
MP3 files that use 48000Hz sampling rate as well).

Not true, actually. Only TV is restricted. BBC radio has been freely available here. It still is via Firefox. It's only on the Pi that I've
lost it.
An interesting, but probably useless, datapoint, is that I can ping bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net without problem, so I'm not totally blocked.

The worst thing is that the Beeb have never attempted to explain why a

They never did in principle - that's just an implementation
artefact of simple web servers, and even when they do it's not uncommon to block access to intermediate levels to hinder bulk scraping.

Figured it had to be somewhere like that.
The problems you describe are the sort of reason I've stayed far
away from the Big Boys... I'm handled by a good local company (fifteen minutes away by bike) that give me DSL, mail, web space and a shell
account to handle it all. They'r just installing fibre in the area (associated with Sonic) but ATM I don't feel any need.
