How to get Radio 3

... it might just be you were trying when a restricted rights program was on? Had radio on here a few times without problem....

Is this a PC or a smartphone/tablet? I agree with steve - it should work (certainly on a PC) unless it is a rights restricted issue. (I use a Vod dongle). I've had issues with the BBCiPlayer app on the smartphone, but going to the internet app and asking for iPlayer does work, (this with a Vod SIM).

I listened to the whole of the Australian GP via the iplayer radio app have you got that.

Thanks so much. It seems I simply wasn't waiting F or the programme to fully load!

BBC iPlayer can be a problem if you have an iP address in Italy, basically, the BBC system can see where you are located and if it believes that you are not in the UK - you can't get the service. There are ways around this, like buying a VPN service that disguises your location and makes the BBC think that you are UK based, it doesn't cost very much and some internet providers can provide it for free. Of course a Uk based mobile phone or dongle would not have a problem.I have just watched England v Australia rugby on my computer! 

Vodafone may have discontinued their service of streaming BBC radio however if you want to get BBCiPlayer app then you can get it from Tutuapp both for Android/iPhone.
