People keep saying it's a Logitech problem, but I suspect there are restrictions that some stations and TuneIn add in that mess it up. At work, I listen to a station from Mexico City on my phone using 3G. When I'm home, I can listen to it on 3G just like at work, but the second I turn on WiFi it disappears. If I go back to 3G, it's fine. The same station doesn't show up on the TuneIn app on my Logitech devices, although the rest of the ones I have favorited on my phone do.
It sounds to me like some stations are willing to license TuneIn to carry their broadcasts only as long as it's not going to be a high-bandwidth connection like WiFi or Squeezeboxes, since they're the ones paying for the traffic at their end. It makes sense to me, although I haven't been able to confirm it. I did email TuneIn support a couple of weeks ago and got their automated "we're looking into it" reply, but never got an answer. But some Google searches make it look like this is the case.

always best to find a direct URL for a station you can save as a favorite and avoid TUNEIN altogether.

Agreed, but the station I listen to only has an online app for listening, and I don't know how TuneIn accesses it... Originally Posted by garym

Try searching for your station on other stream aggregators like vTuner.com, Reciva.com, Live365.com, ShoutCast.com, etc....
If you don't find it listed on other such aggregators then the station is likely not interested in such usage and only wants to offer it's web site player.
If you do find it inform TuneIn and maybe they can add it.
