Anyone having trouble with AA stream?

[Doctor_J]

My real player fired up and the clock is ticking away, but nothing's coming out. Sound care is working. Anyone else having a problem?

[liberal72]

1. I am it says"Please tune in at brosdcast hours."

n/t

[tridim]

2. Yes

Same problem here.

[Love Bug]

3. I keep getting the "come back during broadcast hours" msg

And I still am waiting for my registration code!

[DoctorMyEyes]

Yes!

I gave up after several attempts and went to the Portland stream. I don't think I'm listening to the current programming, but at least I'm getting something.

[soleft]

4. Yes!

So I switched to the link for WLIB and that isn't working either.

[bluedog]

5. yes

it was working earlier.but now zip nada.

[supernova]

6. I lost the feed at the AA site

but I got it again through WLIB. KPOJ feed has the best quality, IMO, but they are 3 hours behind me.

[Doctor_J]

9. links?

Can you post the wlib link?

[Doctor_J]

7. O got the same message just now.

"Please tune in during broadcast hours"

Dang. I hope they get these bugs worked out soon.

10. The AA webmaster wrote in

to The Majority Report Blog saying he was swamped. The just didn't expect the response on the web. They got something like 300,000+ individual hits yesterday. Need more servers and everything.

[hexola]

15. How could they not be ready!!!

Technology is damn cheap...c'mon!!!

And drop that damn Real Player!!!

[Habibi]

Where is the blog?

I don't see a link to it on the AA web site.

Thanks!

[supernova]

26. There's a thread about it here in GD

I'll see if I can find it...

Here's the blog. I think he's buried there in one of the response chains.

[NuttyFluffers]

8. same here

wonder if their 'net broadcast was overloaded with hits?

...or something more sinister... like dust bunnies....?

[rocktivity]

11. Yes, something is majorly wrong

The heart of your lineup is stepping up to the plate! Franken's due one in forty minutes! GET OFF THE STICK OVER THERE!

:headbang:

[Doctor_J]

12. OK, I'm in

working fine now. Must have been overloaded.

[Imalittleteapot]

13. After last night's Nightline, they may be overloaded.

Yikes...I can't get in either. Just when I figured out how to work and lurk with RealPlayer on, they're not streaming for me.

[Doctor_J]

14. uh-oh

when I finally connected, I got a UNCF ad (from the stream), and now have had ~3 min of silence.

[revcarol]

16. PULEEZ post the Portland stream

I got GREAT reception there, but can't seem to access it unless I go thru DU!!

[supernova]

18. KPOJ link

Here you go:

[Doctor_J]

23. ok, I am listening via OR.

Thanks. I have bookmarked the page :-)

[LynzM]

35. Use THIS one!

Out of portland, have yet to have a problem with it!!

http://www.620knews.com/listen/index.php

[Doctor_J]

20. still quiet

rp clock is ticking, the little activity light on my hub blinking madly, but nothing coming out of the speakers.

I guess I'll give them a few days to work out the bugs.

[Bozita]

17. me too, so I switched over to the Portland AA station -- link

[LeftofU]

21. thanks...n/t

[Tim4319]

19. I am

[americanstranger]

22. Mine ran for about an hour, then timed out.

I'm starting to think that's deliberate, in order to record more hits.

Call me cynical.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

24. I think the server is overloaded

and they need to buy more bandwith. I don't think they were expecting the number of hits.

[americanstranger]

30. That kitty on the right looks just like one of mine.

Ours is named Pippin, AKA 'Devil Boy.'

He's a rescue from the animal hospital. Victim of a car with a mangled-up front leg. We love the little guy. :)

[napi21]

25. Portland link fine! In a way, this is a GREAT problem!!!!

It shows just how many people there are out there who want to listen to this new broadcasting! I can live through a few start up glitches because it will mean advertising is going to be easier to sell, more stations will pick up the feed, and WE'LL BE A SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!

Just maybe we can ...in time...get Limbaugh, Boortz etc & Bushco all on the unemployment rolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

28. AA web host speaks

Comments to The Majority Report Blog:

It's Brian from I Stand For, we're doing the AAR website.

We're so sorry things have been buggy, nobody could have anticipated the response we have received.

We've broken records people... We are Real Audio's #1 stream. We were at 50,000 streams during Al's show around 2:00 EST. We got 350,000 unique visitors from 8:00 last night to 2 this afternoon. That puts us on pace to be a top 50 site...on the entire web. We're talking Bank of America, Dell Computers numbers.

You guys are awesome, this is amazing and we're so proud to be a part of it.

I assure you were working round the clock to bring you the best community website possible. Were getting new servers set up to handle the incredible response. Next week we'll be rolling out new functionality: membership, blogs, newsletters, and in a little bit, audio archives for all the shows.

So keep keeping on! We can do it. It's time to show everyone that we love America as much as anybody, and were not gonna sit by and watch George Bush poop in our porridge anymore.

LIBERALS RULE!

32. Glad to hear this

B,

So glad to hear that people are tuning in!!! Not that I can speak for all liberals, but I am getting tired of yelling at my radio :)

I was also glad to see the e-mail address you put up for a contact. Did you get my message from root? Sorry about that, but a web pressence is very important - don't you think?

Keep up the great work,

Botchan <-- Can't stop listening to AA --> where can I donate bandwidth :)

[supernova]

36. Sorry botchan, I'm not Brian

the web host for AA. :hi: Just passing along the info.

Welcome to DU!

[newyawker99]

41. Hi botchan!!

[liberal72]

31. It seems to be working again.

[devinsgram]

33. Mine is coming from the online site

and it is coming in great.

[botchan]

34. Go to site now and click listen

They only broadcast on-line during a show. Go to www.airamericaradio.com and click the listen link. Al is just coming on!!!

[RebelOne]

37. It's working again, but for some reason

the sound is too low. I have my speakers up to the max .

[supernova]

38. Experiencing the same

I guess the sound engineers are working. It's not distorted today. Although, Morning Sedition was was still fuzzy.

[western mass]

39. Where are the archives?

I swear I saw a link to show archives on the site, but can't seem to locate the link anymore. Anyone have it, or any sites archiving the shows?

[supernova]

40. I don't think they have archives

up yet.... Read the email from the webhost. (My post above)
