edited December 2006 in Technical Stuff and Help
been trying to listen to http://talksport.net ..............well when I click on -Listen Live- it asks for me to Validate, when I do it tells me the windows pruduct installed is not genuine blah blah..................now this is a recent addition because as recent as 3months back there was no problems and no validation procedure was in place.

Im aware the software on my pc is probably counterfeit.
sooooo, I ask any would-be saviour: is there any way I can bypass this??????????? would greatly appreciate any help that means I can listen to the station without paying out..........thanks for reading this.

    And no one sings me lullabyes
    And no one makes me close my eyes
    So I throw the windows wide
    And call to you across the sky....

    You can play Talksport radio, by downloading this great, free, unbloated player called Screamer Radio:

    http://www.screamer-radio.com/download.php

    It's a tiny program that doesn't interfere with the running of your pc. Once you have it installed, go to its interface, and click File > Open URL. Then paste http://www.talksport.net/talksport-live.asx , and it should play fine.

    Mind you, it's probably Mike Mendoze-off jabbering, right now...

    Cool.


    Sad about Mike Dickin dying, isn't it? I'll miss the grumpy old sod, even though I disagreed with his views 101% of the time.

    Use a free player like WinAmp.

    found his brusque manner with callers amusing, shame.

    always liked Ian Collins the most outside of the sports chatter
