Well since posting my original comment things have improved without me doing anything.

I am just passing a 4 1/2 hour continuous stutter-free stream of BBC R4. Don't think I have ever got past a couple of hours in the past without some interrruption.

Just hope the commentator's curse dosn't strike

In the spirit of Spinaltap, I would like to confirm that I am not involved in the corrupt theft of a global sport.
