Hi John, The problem with this is that IRN don't send any data info about what they are actually feeding. Also, becuase they often send more than one thing at a time - i.e. 2 feeds or more at the same time. Without some kind of signal from them in between, we can't tell which is which. Combined with no data telling us what they are sending anyway it does kind of leave us high and dry. At present, they aren't aiming to change this method, but I know they are always trying to come up with better ways of working. They do have a website that most of the stories and audio is available from - though you will need to contact them direct to get access to it. Unfortunately this isn't a perfect alternative, as it doesn't work in realtime, so you can't get the current bulletin \"live\", so you still need to keep a dish for the top of the hour bulletin. We are actually working with them to try and develop Scoop v3 to the point of being able to access this website as an alternate delivery method to the standard satellite feeds, and we get on with this we'll let you all know.
