Yeah I just noticed they were the same thing. I wish the BBC would get their heads of their arses and support Android.

myplayer will stream the live tv & radio from iplayer as well as giving you all the pre recorded stuff.

menu & view gives you three options BBC iPlayer, live TV & Live radio

Does Radiotime give you stations from the UK like real radio?

Also I see its in US money so how much does that work out in UK money?

It seems to be good enough to work out the two commercial and one community stations near to where I am (based on GPS, I guess)

If you google "2.99 usd in gbp" (or whatever the price is) it will tell you.

I bought it a while ago, I think it was less than £2.

Anyone produced a 'UK playlist' where you can simply load in your media player for a working list of stations?

Wunder radio is good. It costs 3.99 but it's well worth it.

press the menu button, it will give you four buttons, options / about / exit / view
press view and a pop up will come up giving iplayer / BBC radio* / Live TV / live radio

*BBC radio is new to the latest version (if you haven't updated recently you might not have this option but you should still have live radio), it gives the pre-recorded radio programmes from iplayer, live radio gives you the live streams
