Watch/listen Live not an option BBC I-player on Android tablet.

Hi.

I have bought an Android tablet (Gemini Joy Tab) for Xmas. It runs Android 4.03 and Ice Cream Sandwich OS.

I can get i-player on it but it looks like basic functionality. There is no option to view TV live or listen to the radio live. the download is the BBC mobile App from what I can make out. I have a selection of featured programmes listed but no comprehensive listing of what's been on and the option to watch LIVE like I can on iplayer on my laptop.

I don't want to download a programme to watch later as I know this isn't available on Android, but just watch live TV and be able to catch up on what I've missed during the day.

Any ideas? I'm new to this. I have the Media player app and the i-player app. Is there another add on I need so I can watch TV on my tablet 'LIVE'?

Thanks.

There is a live TV option - take another look and you should find it.
