Listen Again is not supported but the Sonos radio system is now tied
into
Radiotime which means you can access BBC podcasts - gives limited access to
some of this content.

Whilst this is in discussion can you listen to previous radio shows on
bbc yet? i.e. the listen again feature?

Shortly to be able to buy a whole set of these to kit out my parents
new place out, they've got a wishlist to get all the cool stuff i've
got in my house but for it to just work....i've explained that means
tripling (and some) the budget but they're keen! Fun for me and a
chance to play!!

Thanks

Noel
