Thanks to the unique way in which the BBC is funded, the clip won't stream.

Go to www.bbc.com/topgear and click for yourself.

( No reason NOT to have realplayer it isnt' iTunes )

[jediali]

well if i didnt like itunes i might use winamp, mediaplayer or something. however i dont have an ipod but use itunes.

[Cyco]

It works for me.

Will be good to download it, if I waited for it to air here I wouldn't see it till 2009.

Tried that.

Tried it in Opera and FF, just in case.

Still wouldn't stream, hi res, low res...

I have VLC, I don't need or want Realplayer with its countless MBs of bundled toolbars and "utilities".

Hoping some kind souls will eventually post them on YouTube, at least the good bits.

Streeming fine for millions of others ..... so are you sure you don't have a firewall blocking rstp packets ?
If not, then I think you've found the case for installing Real and unticking the box for all the "helper" and "add-ons"

i totally understand and agree, i didnt install it because there is nothing else i would use realplayer for and am a bit of a geek in the sense i would like to keep my pc as light' as possible.

The Alfa, TT, RX-8 test will be week 2.
Hope they give them to the Stig

No, its Real that's the problem.

I just tried watching a clip of Ray Mears, the first alternative link to clips I came across; options for Windows Media Player or Real;
- Windows works fine for both hig/low res
- Real doesn't stream properly, its just a series of still images.

So, even without the bloat installed, I still have 26MB of Real Player sat on my hard disk, and the first time that I have used it for about 6 months it doesn't work.

Still; 3 1/2 hours to go!

So this is an OLD installation of Real ?
First, recommend getting the recent updates ( better decoder performance ).
Also, check that all the settings are at automatic.
Specifically make sure that the bandwidth settings match your reality.
I've seen what you describe on low speed broadband when set to be LAN

THere really is nothing "wrong" with Real, it's just another company trying to make money with a patented compression
