Now HNG is broadcasting in stereo will have received a small number of Emails
from listeners saying that the audio is breaking up.
This is because Hot 'N' Gold now broadcasts in stereo and as a consequence, our bit
rate has gone from 24k to 32k and now 128k.
It is still possible to receive good quality audio from our station through a standard dial-up
connection as long as it's a good one, ie 36k or greater.
If you have a poor quality dial-up connection, this can be caused by line conditions
or the use of a line sharing device, you should consult your telephone provider to see
if they can improve your connection quality or, you may like to consider upgrading
your Internet connection to a much faster Broadband type. (There are
world-wide deals for broadband right at this moment)
Broadband Internet can be obtained from either your telephone line provider or
from your local cable TV operator.
We have been made aware recently of an issue arising through the use of some pop up blockers. The purpose of a pop up blocker is to remove pop up advertisements. As some pop up blockers can not differentiate very well between content and adverts it is possible that when following certain links that the link appears not to work.
It is not a problem with the link but that the pop up blocker is too strict ! This issue applies to all web sites including www.hotngold.co.uk.
