Thanks for the comments bpa.

1. I'm sure when I tried to use the live streams on BBCiPlayer it
didn't play - perhaps the SB Radio can't play the format and the
LinkStation NAS with 7.3.3 can't decode it either. Or maybe it was a
problem with my broadband connection (my ISP has just implemented
traffic shaping in a sledgehammer manner).

2. Yes I wondered about that, but unfortunately the BBC App doesn't
show up under my Plugins settings, possibly because it's 7.3.3 not
7.4.x? Is there a Logitech repository URL I can use (like I did to see
your BBCiPlayerExtra app) or will I have to wait for 7.4?

(7.4 is not currently available on LS stock firmware - see various
discussions on 3rd Party Hardware forum)

I heard on the news today that BBC have announced some iPlayer "net TV"
standardisation (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8426104.stm) so
maybe this will trickle down to radio content too. I suppose what I'd
expect from the BBC is a definitive list of format(s) and the same
content on all of them. That said I assume this is a learning period for
them too to try and work out what formats become most common etc.

It's great that there are knowledgable people on the forums to fill in
the gaps for us!
