Where does NOAA go?

[jp561]

I love the squeezebox - BUT it can be so flaky/ e.g. Some days I can get NOAA Fort Collins to be received and some days I just get the "beep/Bop This stattion does not do internet streaming..etc.." and then a couple of days later - I can receive it loud and clear. Any ideas?
Thanks

Likely the stream itself is unreliable based on information from their own web site: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/streamaudio.htm

- internet streams not reliable
- streams hosted by third parties (universities, individuals)
- limited number of server connections
- etc....

As mentioned, the NOAA Weather Radio streams are not provided by NOAA/NWS directly. These feeds are often provided by volunteers, providing them as a "community service". The primary site responsible for providing these streams is Weather Underground. More info about their weather radio feeds, including a list of which ones are currently online and available, can be found here:

Thank you for the replies. I just noticed that the screen has the weatherunderground logo.... so that explains it. There is so much to this little black box of joy, I am sure I am not getting the full benefit of all its features. I am going to have to trawl this forum. Thanks again for the information.
