929 Streaming

Ok, so I live in the country and can't receive Perth radio stations other than online. No big deal, I have broadband so I can stream the radio stations that I want to listen to if the mood takes me. At least I thought I could. 92.9 streaming is awful. First the window does not open unless you are using Internet Explorer, Firefox is out. Second, I have two monitors hooked up to my PC and I happened to have IE open on the right hand screen. "Sorry, we have detected that you have moved the advertisement screen". WTF? I didn't move it, but I expect they are looking for it at 0,0 instead of where it opened on my screen at 1248,0. Huh? Advertisement window? That doesn't sit right with me, but more about that in a bit. Once I sat through the advertisement, I was helpfully informed that I have pop-up blocking software running on my machine. NO SHIT "Please turn off you pop-up blocking software". And that is where I stopped. This thing is set up solely for advertising. From what I can see here they are trying to double up on the ad hit. Am I mistaken? Doesn't 92.9 play advertisements on the radio? Don't they also include that on the internet stream? Why should I have to wait through and ad before I start listening, let them put up more ads while I'm listening and then play ads on the radio which is what I am listening to? I think that 92.9 and the AusStereo network are being way too greedy. You just lost a listener. I was also trying out their new podcasting service, which by the way didn't have any noticable ads. I have unsubscribed from that feed now; I don't feel like supporting their efforts. Compare this experience to listening to Triple j who just increased their stream to 128kbps. One click and I'm listening.
