Hey Guys,
I'm struggling a bit with the radio stations on my BS5...
Most of them aren't working...?
For example, my favorite one didn't work yesterday for a couple of hour, suddenly it worked! Only to not work a bit later, and not working for the whole day today.
Seems like 1 of 5 radio stations work, tops!
The radio station that is my favorite works fine trough iTunes...
Help!
Radio station list updated 16.1.2015 according to the BS5.
Too long to list....
I have the same problem. I am also fighting constantly with defaults.

It might be so that the N.RADIO list contains old streaming endpoints for your favourite radion stations.
One way might be to contact your favourite radio station and ask what url (streaming endpoint) they currently are usingand forward that information to Bang & Olufsen customer support.
I had the same problem when a lot of my favourite radion stations moved to radioplay.se here in Sweden.
But after talking to customer support on RadioPlay i got the the new url's for the radio stations and Bang & Olufsenupdated the N.RADIO list a couple of days after i gave their customer support the new endpoints.
Worth knowing is that the BM/BS5 only support streaming mp3 ad N.RADIO sources.
Thanks for the info.
However, this really seems like it should be on B&O shoulders to keep up the radio station list, and not it's customers.
True, true. I think that the idea was that N.RADIO units will report back to B&O about quality and status of the streams and they would manage it for us costumers, but it seems to be to much of a challenge.
I have posted a feature request to B&O to include listenIn for N.RADIO since it seems to be how Internet Radio is handled on BeoSound Essence and (what I think) on BeoSound Moment.
I think that would be rather easy to implement and streamline their offering for online media through their products.
On my BeoSound Essence have no problems
I meant TuneIn, not listenIn. My bad, couldn't edit my last post.
I should also mention that it could be your internet connection as well.Are you connection through WiFi or cable to your router and what kind of internet connection do you have (cable, ethernet, fibre or 3/4G)?
I have over WLAN Access Point

It's not the connection, as if a station works, it works flawlessly!
But for instance, my favorite radio station worked fine at the store, didn't work when I set it up at home... Suddenly when I tried it a few hours later it worked, only to not work a few hours after that. Didn't work the following day, suddenly after an email to my dealer, it worked! :D
Tried just now and it works.
B&O outsource the BS/BM5 Net Radio function if I'm not mistaken. You can send an email to corporate that X stations are not available and the service will attempt to correct the problem. Some stations don't come back on occasions.
Ah, you know... A little B&O here, a little there
If the same N.RADION station works flawless from your dealer but will drop from your home, I'd say its your WIFI or Internet connection that might need to be looked into.
Is it possible for you to connect an ethernet cable between your BM/BS5 and your router?I have previous experiences that its possible to saturate a WIFI connection if you have multiple streams, like AirPlay/NetFlix/Youtube running the same time.
