Update on Internet Radio Player

Update 14th August 2017

We still have a very small number of people having problems connecting to the internet radio stream following the move to the new provider.  The most likely cause is these devices have a memory function and you have old settings programmed into a preset, and you need to renew those settings with the new settings.

See this article for more information on how to resolve the problem. If you can no longer receive Desi Radio over the internet, check where you are getting the settings from,  if they are in one of the memories on your device, search for Desi Radio 1602 AM on your device, make sure you can hear audio, and overwrite the memory location so you can recall the station in the future.

Sound Quality

10th May 2016

A few people have reported sound quality issues over the Internet. If you are experiencing sound quality issues over the internet then it may be because you are connected to a stream that Desi Radio no longer supports. Changes were made 2 weeks ago to the audio streaming.

If you are still experiencing problems please can you try the Pop Out Player which is located in the sidebar of the website on every page.

This hooks up to a new stream which was turned on just over 2 weeks ago and should be better quality than the earlier streams.

If you have tried this and you are still hearing distortion please let us know. You can do so using our contact us page. When you do this please let us know what you are using locally to listen to the internet audio stream.

thank you,

Desi Radio

Email and website availability

This morning (2nd of February 2016) the website and email service was interrupted for several hours while we changed the hosting for the site.

This change is now completed, and the email and website service is now correctly registered under the Desiradio.org.uk domain name.

If you sent us something between late Monday night and midday on Tuesday, please send it again, it is likely we missed it. Services were restored at midday on Tuesday. Our apologies if you were affected.
