When playing Live 365 stations, the music consistently skips and pauses. Any thoughts as to the source of the problems? (My Comcast connection generally works well with streaming media.)

I had the odd speed issue -wired connection. If it gets to me, I'll change the channel, or try to listen through the PC.

My tivo has a wired connection to my router.
What bothers me most about what Live365 is doing with TiVo is how they've crippled the free service on TiVo. You can go to their web site and sign up for the free service and play a rather large number of stations. Only a small subset are available with the client the provide for the TiVo unless you go for the "Preferred" membership.
There is a way around it though:
Set up your free membership preferences on their web site so that you don't use their player or RealPlayer. When you click on a station, it will prompt you for a player to use or let you download the play.pls file. Put the file in a music folder on your server and you can listen. There is session information in tags so you'll need to get a new one if you log off their site.
Now, if I can only get my Tivo desktop server from crashing every time I access a radio playlist ...... GRRR!

Yes, Mike, both my brand new Series 2 Tivos had their Yahoo info gone this morning too. I'm actually glad to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing this! Is there a patch anywhere, or is this a temporary glitch that will restore my Yahoo settings soon?MikeRadio said:
Also, Live365 has been cutting in and out, and then periodically stopping for no apparent reason, on any channel. Both Tivos use the new wireless Tivo adapters. Suggestion?
Last, Rocketboom either has a mind of its own, or something's wrong. It successfully downloads itself about 2 days out of the week on either Tivo, and the rest of the time, History shows that it didn't record "due to lack of space" which is ludicrous since there's plenty of space left on both machines. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix?
Thanks,

As posted here, I'm having a problem with Live365 on one of our two Tivo boxes. We love Live365, which has a great variety of cool stations which cannot be found anywhere else. On our system upstairs - a 40-hour series II 240xx model (brown case), the audio plays fine, while when we access the same station (I think it is called 24-7 which playes top street music hits) on our downstairs 160 hour unit series II 540xx model (silver case), the audio is in slow motion, as if the unit plays out the stream at 1/2 the speed of normal.
Has anyone figured out why this happens? We don't understand why one of our units has the problem while the other does not.
Thx,
Jake

I just use Shoutcast through Galleon. I haven't touched Live365 since I tried it the day I got the Yahoo software on my Tivo.
