Use the radio streams on Freeview. Not entirely brilliant, but a

Alas, less useful as advice in Scotland. :-/


FTA satellite? I don't much use mine, but pretty well every radio
station seems to be up there if you look.


I'm happy enough with the internet streams.


Just that I don't think recommending 'Freeview' for BBC radio is the
first suggestion I'd make. In England it may be fine as they don't lose
out to Alba TV.


Perhaps worth adding that recent examinations indicate that the new 'BBC
Radio App' for Android, etc, seems to allow the user to download 320 aac
files for the UK stations. Using the app these may 'self destruct' 30 days
after over-air broadcast. But if you have a suitable mobile device, etc,
you may find this info handy. The limit then may be the audio quality you
can get *out* of your device. 8-]
