Ed, either you're thinking of the prospect of Carrie's chest & posted a blank message in error, or what you have posted is banned by our works internet's filter.

I'd guess it's your work's filter. Seems your IT guys have something against Right Said Fred.

Ah, must be the Anti-Gay filter then

The National Lottery website is banned here as it's classed as Gambling & BBC iPlayer as it's video/web streaming

I like that they keep experimenting with the video streaming every now and then, but I would rather it stay as an occasional feature only.

To be honest I have sometimes felt frustrated about not being able to access the computer at a time when they were incorporating the live feed significantly into the show's content. And that's fine once in a while of course, but I wouldn't want it to happen all the time. When it comes to it I prefer their discussion about online stuff such as the funny videos, Twitter etc as on those occasions I can make a mental note to look at it later.

As I said, the live feed is great fun when they bring it on (I must shamefully admit to having enjoyed the Scott Mills cams too), but I do believe radio has an important advantage over visual broadcasting and it would be a shame if that were lost.

[Ed Pummelon]

True, but I imagine that they will have covered off the amount they build references to the feed into content as part of the planning for this - that will be one of things they analysed after the last pilot (I assume).

Plus this time it's for six weeks, rather than one, so the novelty of having cameras in the studio will fade fast, and I would guess the show will settle back into it's natural rhythm and style pretty quickly.

It's certainly worth more experimentation, even if it was only for the sake of trying new things out - for such a lumbering corporation the BBC can be surprisingly innovative in this way. I agree that it shouldn't be a permanent change though.

[English Bob]

Another thing which irks me slightly about the live feeds (and computer related features in general) is when the DJ's say 'If you are at a PC at work...go to this address now!'

Only a slight irk, but how many people do you know who can A.) Use the internet on a work PC and B.) Visit non work-related sites on it?

Meh, as long as they post highlights online which I can watch when I get home, I'll be happy.

[Andy B]

I'm sure in the first week they will do some visual stuff just to encourage people to log on and see it for themselves but they've always done stuff / talked about things where having a camera would be advantageous. Fire at Will is a classic example. Throwing things at someone on radio shouldn't work but it does, having cameras is just a bonus really.

That's the beauty of radio, sometimes you have to use your own imagination unlike TV where it's all done for you. Especially with some of the classic Doctor Who episodes.

Of all the people I know that work in an office, none have of them have any restrictions on their internet access.

Bah! Must just be my mean bosses then.

Our PC's at work are very much restricted in terms of internet access. Can't check lottery numbers (filtered for gaming/gambling), cant access BBC news videos or audio, certainly not iplayer, Ebay is a no no, or Youtube (obvious bandwidth usage). All of these sites have nothing to do with my line of work, so it's not surprising they're blocked. My solution is to take my laptop in and use my phone as a modem, it works a treat! I have a fair usage limit of 500MB of data with my phone, but I've never (yet.....) been contacted regarding exceeding this, which I do on a regular basis.

I reckon some of the magic is lost when you can actually see the studio. But then again, it's not like I'm being forced to watch it. I rarely look at the webcams, for example.

[Munki Bhoy]

Network nazis should be shot. I don't restrict anything here.

I just monitor it for dodgyness...

We didn't until about February this year when Facebook & You Tube were banned as "virus kept getting through", which as I understand has happened with a few people on Facebook outside our office since our then IT manager told us. However it's effected BBC iPlayer

[jocky85]

Nothing has been filtered on our internet - although I may have overused ticketmaster today and got it blocked :

[Latina]

My work internet is totally unfiltered also. So many Uni staff (clerical and academic) have got into Facebook/Twitter in a big way that there would be uproar if that changed.

I do all my internet shopping at work, and it's also the only place I actually view any Radio One video/cam stuff as my own laptop is too slow.

I can't be bothered to scroll through all this. Am I going to be able to watch it again like last time?

Well, neilt0 was the kind soul who recorded the streams at the beginning of the year and shared them around but, as was previously commented, 6 weeks is big commitment, so who knows?!

I for one would be extremely appreciative if he or someone else were to record the streams this time round.

[Sunny So Cal]

That was very kind of him but I meant will I be allowed to watch them live. Remember? Last time Moyles said I was in 'Gillingham' and that was how I was watching live. I just wanted to see if anyone knew if they were going to block any live feed for those of us outside the UK.

[richardtomlinson]

Remember? Last time Moyles said I was in 'Gillingham' ...

Ah, yes, I remember. I guess only time will tell, it's not something that's going to feature in their press releases.

Although, Simon Mayo's show is being streamed most days up until June 19th, so give that a go - surely it's very likely that the same process is being applied to that programme as will be the case for Moyles in a couple of weeks?

[Ed Pummelon]

If I remember correctly Sunny you were only in Gillingham for a couple of days until the tech guys "relocated" you. I wouldn't bank on the same thing this time round, it's a much longer project and they'll have learnt a lot from the first trial. Still worth a try of course.

If any clever types can cap them it'd be great not only for overseas listeners / viewers, but also those of us who can't listen / watch during the day. Thirty shows could be pushing it though.

If they block the video steam to overseas "Viewers" I will PM you with details on how to set-up Foxy Proxy on your computer so you can bypass the block and watch the feed live.

[Sunny So Cal]

I will try Mayo's show, Richard. Good idea. Yeah, Ed, I get around. L.A., Gillingham, San Diego. I'm all over the place. Thanks, Danny!

I'm recording now! I didn't find out about this until Chris twittered at 8am -- I normally listen to the show via Listen Again, not live.

I'm going to try to cap every day, but it would be wise for someone else to do so as well as a backup. The best app to cap with is "Replay Media Catcher".
I may oversleep, or the stream may go down or whatever.

As I missed from 6:30am to 8:07am, has anyone else got a cap to share for today's show?
