The Netherlands (Ziggo) became the first country to switch off its analogue terrestrial television network and completed the digital switchover on 11th December 2006.

The radio stations are streamed via the BBC Sounds app and also via the Radioline app - which are also available on the V6 boxes.
BT/EE allow streamed TV channels to be recorded, so I don't understand why the same can't be done for radio??

In that case they could just call it something else (other sites use something similar) as they have done to get Suggestions back.
