The screenshot attached to this post shows that you have the wrong BBC Radio.m3u file in the BBC Radio folder. It should be the file that Windows Explorer is identifying as being of a Winamp type.

I also noticed that you have selected MP3 for the stream type in the Roberts dialog. The BBC HLS streams are AAC, not MP3. Does the Roberts dialog allow you to select AAC for the stream type?

Hi Simon - this is why I think I may be missing something that's blindingly obvious to most here...

In the instructions....
3. Create a plain text file named BBC Radio.m3u in this folder (with Windows Notepad, select ANSI). You can download a sample version of this file from this link. This sample file lists all the BBC national HLS AAC UK streams in the best available sound quality. After downloading this sample file, remember to rename it to BBC Radio.m3u and make sure it has been saved as a plain text file and not some other format such as RTF (with Windows Notepad, select ANSI).

So do I save it as a "plain text file" or an m3u file? (I had it saved an an m3u file earlier and that didn't work either, but at least we can eliminate that).
