Not that I would listen to BBC, but this thread got me looking into what all is available on my streamer. I did not see any BBC. Is that because I am in the US or am I looking in the wrong place?

Hard to know, not being in the US myself. What service provider are you looking at? E.g Airable, TuneIn?

If I look at TuneIn, it gives USA, then Arizona, then Phoenix, then…’no stations available’! So maybe the reverse applies?

No. No suggestion it will either, at least that I’ve seen. Do any streamers have BBC Sounds built in?

I can stream Sounds to the DS using Airplay from my iPad, but it’s slightly inferior SQ.
Not sure but believe on Innuos streamers you can add it, as a plug-in.

I looked under Airable and TuneIn and didn't see it in either one.

Just trying here (UK) although it must be noted that I’m using Roon.
I have set, as radio favourites, Radio 1 Dance, Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 4, Radio 4 Extra and Radio 6 Music. All play fine at 320kbps.
I have World Service too, and that’s ok, albeit at the much lower bit rate of 96kbps.

Thanks for reminding me! Normal service resumed here too today. Full bit rates on BBC, except World Service, as you say understandably.

Normal service resumed on 2,3,4 and 6 - presume the rest of the beeb is working (only listen to the above on an occasional basis).
