OK, exactly which service are you trying to use? For example, on 
www.bbc.co.uk/london I can stream the video via the "watch now" link 
top right under BBC London News. If I try to use the "Watch/listen to 
bbc news" link from www.bbc.co.uk on the other hand, Mozilla simply 
fails to render the embedded player and Konq renders the page but has 
problems playing the streams. Which version of Realplayer do you have 
installed?
