This is true to a point. A laptop running Windows 7 / 8 / OS X / various current Linux flavors gets updated often. Windows XP laptops do not, yet for many folks they work well enough for their needs. Windows NT / 2000? Probably not upgradable as-is; you'd have to install a new(er) OS, and the h

Incidentally, Tunein doesn't stream anything per se. You need to think of them as a DNS (domain name server, i.e., a "lookup") for content. They then hand you off to whatever is actually providing the content so you are effectively telling me your beef is with BBC servers. Now that I have no proble

Tunein does not support legacy Internet radios -- those who use the Reciva and vTuner platforms. It is the abandonment of this installed base of Internet radios -- which cannot be upgraded to these protocols -- that has generated the outcry. Even parts of TuneIn have been hobbled by these changes

Actually, I am rather puzzled by all this angst over the availability of BBC streams. Am I the only one who knows about tunein.com? They have the whole enchilada, some locals, National, and World Service. ___ Swprograms mailing list Swprograms@hard-core-d

Good point -- that's always been a fear of mine as broadcasters each create their own apps...in the tug-of-war with aggregators / directory sources (such as Reciva / vTuner for Internet Radios). One wonders if the heavyweights (like the BBC and, perhaps, NPR with its 'One' app), will want to contr

Problem is, this is not the same old parliament. With UKIP (the Brit equivalent of our Tea Party, only much stranger) trying to get anyone not born in the UK fired from their jobs, it almost makes perfect sense what they're doing. > On Mar 12, 2015, at 10:11 PM, Steven Clift <1radionewst...@gmai
