My wife listens to LBC on her iPhone or the laptop through the LBC app or web site: seems to work pretty well. You should be able to get to most radio stations straight through a browser though the app sounds like a good idea: will check it out.

Thanks for the heads up!

I caved in and got sattelite in the car. It's a vast improvement and actually not that expensive if you negotiate with them, there are always deals on.

I've noticed this too, which leads me to wonder whether TuneIn is leaving itself open to lawsuits.

Apple approved it, they are very strict.

I never download, illegal stuff or buy boot leg DVD's.

Shamefully, Uncle E.

They used to have BB1 Radio 1 on timeshift, so I listened to Chris Moyles on the way to work and Scott Mills on the way back.

But they cut it to play disco (I'm serious).

Cut the service after that. I think Sirius still offers it through its webradio, but I did point out to Sirius that except for the timeshift BBC Radio 1 is FREE online anyway!

Muppets.

Not really, they're only strict that you don't break them and then screw everyone else and let them fight out the legalities.

Nope. They've let loads of apps that have been copied and it's up to the app owners to fight it out between them to show who has legal rights before Apple ding the illegal one, for instance.

I just downloaded this too. It seems great, although I am not a big radio listener, I may become one. Thanks for the info.

It is a wonderful app, I use it to wake up to bbc radio 5.

If expatshield brought out an app, Tunein would be perfect for the footie commentry too. :)
