BBC Dropping Tunein Support
47 replies
That’s terrible news!What good is the inbuilt TuneIn on my A9 and BS2 now?
For you as UK-citizen not much....if that was, what you listened to there.
For others - abroad - there will be no difference.
We will still be able to listen......at a ridiculously low bitrate - which is the reason why I never listen to BBC, anyway.

No. Its about the BBC and protecting their “unique” funding model (read antiquated, facist, protectionist model)

Easy now - I’d be just as disappointed, if that would happen in Denmark, where DR Radio is just as important to people there.
The biggest concern we should have here is, whether this is just a start - maybe that is what all national broadcasters will do soon.
And - by the way - I’d like to listen to BBC, but in a decent quality.
I think listening to radio stations from other countries should be part of our cultural exchange today......and should be supported by every country/governent

So I am guessing the solution would be for manufacturers to “simply” add BBC sounds as another source?Sounds quite major, many many people use radio as alarms etc on multiroom systems for all brands
The problem is registration; the BBC want to know what you are listening to, and when - and there doesn’t seem to be an easy way with the current B&O solutions to add this. Yes, this may happen to other state broadcasters as they prepare to go subscription based.....
Maybe worth flagging to B&O?

I presume that you've considered using a VPN (or DNS service like 'unblockus') to get the BBC's UK spec 320 kbps rather than the poor international 96 kbps service?
