Since the demise of Flash at the end of 2020 you will find your standard web browser has about 15 seconds delay on a streamed signal. VLC enables you to watch a flash stream with ~ 2 seconds delay.

Simply follow these instructions:

Download VLC https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.en-GB.html -

Go to "Media" > "open network stream":

VLC stream channel.JPG

Enter the following in to the network URL box:

rtmp://rtmp.batc.org.uk/live/xxxxx - where xxxx is the name of the stream you want to watch.

Press play.
