Neither do Reciva or any other aggregator I am aware of unless it is their own 
product. 

 

However, TuneIn does control what happens with their apps and it’s clear they 
have issues and are struggling to get it worked out with the BBC. You are 
correct, however, that at the end of the day it is the BBC that is providing 
the unreliable streams.

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 problem believing.

that gets you handed off to one of my laptops.

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 -- the
capability to listen on-demand to some programs ("Episodes" in
Tunein-ese) isn't working.
