Radio tuner not working?

All of a sudden, the radio tuner is not working. The message I get is "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later".

This tells me nothing. My internet connection is fine for everything except this. When I went into Help, this is what came up: "You can also choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, and choose Large from the Streaming Buffer Size pop-up menu". There is no such pop-up menu or even any reference to Streaming Buffer Size.

Does anyone know about this?

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Only about the other 500 people who have posted about this issue in the last 48 hours (browse the forum). Some have issues; others, like me, do not. I suspect the only thing to do is be patient. Oh, you can always report it to Apple, but I suspect they know about it.

I did browse, but it seemed a lot of the problems were on new equipment (iPhones etc). I also clicked on several similar topics in the "More like This" section.

I was thinking that maybe it was because I'm still on Snow Leopard and on an older Macbook, but that doesn't seem to be it. Every time there is an update, something goes a little wacky.

I will be patient - I've already reported it to feedback.

I have had issues lately with ATV 1st generation not being able to purchase or connect to iTunes. Then the Internet radio stopped working on ATV and my Mac. I thought it was my connections, my network issues Or something I did. Silly me. C'mon Apple. Let's fix this. And check apple tv 1st gen. And how it is working with iTunes. Has anyone else had issues with ATV lately?

It's been like this for me now for a week.

Come on Apple, I use this everyday! I want my radio stations back.
