I understand well how this works for non-Squeezebox streaming, for example when streaming video such as Netflix. But, when it comes to hardware- and software-players in the LMS sphere, I am not so clear on what the factors are that determine which streams are available to you. There is your actual location and IP and your time zone, but also how you connect to the radio stream – via squeezebox.com, RadioNet, TuneIn, direct URL, BBC Sounds...
It's the same IP address based approach that Netflix etc. use. Based on your IP address they guess where you come from. It's easier for a subscription service, of course, as they can combine it with other information like your billing address etc. But your IP address is key for the online radios.
