I apologize in advance if this is not the right forum for this. If so, I will have it moved or deleted.

Ok... here is what I want to do.....

I listen to quite a bit of streaming radio. Mostly of BBC Radio4. I have a choice of their application or Real Player. HERE is the link. If you click on LISTEN NOW, you can see the options. What I want to do is set something up so I can listen to this thru my home stereo system while downstairs cleaning or etc. Right now, the main computer is upstairs in the office and the way the house is situated, it is not possible for me to do this.

I dont know if I need to buy a wireless media network, or if I can hook something up from what I have or whatever. The models of media network stuff that I have looked at... all only support certain live streams, such as AOLRadio and etc. THIS, for example allows AOLRadio, Napster and Rhapsody.

My computer set up can be seen in the MAIN SQUEEZE link below.
I also have an HP Pavillion 4560US laptop, but I dont know if I can hook anything up from here to the teevee/stereo system.

What would I need to do in order to get that live stream onto my downstairs stereo?

Thanks in advance.
