Thanks but I think this is a bit complicated.  My preference is to turn
off live info for the moment.

I'm wary about using the
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/availability/radio3.xml because IIRC this
is a deprecated interface.  That said, I had thought about using this to
"skip back to program start" but then I had to consider if user was not
in UK time zone or their PC clock was not correct so I'd have to use UTC
time from a time server but again it would be a lot of effort for a
small feature and I have other things to do.
