I already knew I could access internet radio and tv easily, as I have done this on several occasions in the past, but I thought something which made this whole thing easier and brought everything together in one place wa on offer here. Glad I researched it first, as I have made hasty purchases in the past. I will definately not be buying this now, and probably not even bother with the alternative one I found on amazon for £5.99 lol So glad I read this, as I like so many others would have been sucked in by this seemingly “ingenious” device.

You can always try forcing an update via the menu, but that might not always work, depending on what's being transmitted at that point.

There is nothing special about this 'player' - it's just a USB stick with some software on it, and you can find lots of online TV without paying over the odds for this. Some people may find it slightly easier to use a program that helps them find streams - but my main objection is that none of the ads for this product are making it clear that it's software, and nothing more.

But I do have Timeriffic which allows me to schedule activities like switching ringing profiles. Plus I use CyanogenMod firmware instead of stock, this is more optimised. GO! SMS and Phone book allow custom alert profiles, it also has custom groups, but I only have two people profiled. I automatically set the phone to airplane mode at night to avoid being disturbed. android phones support SIP but UI functionality varies in quality.
