I started to install and my virus and add blocker went bonkers,thank you but no thanks.

Cool not a problem....
Though it does strike me that your virus/ad blocker is something of a hypochondriac/paranoid at times...

Most of the civilised world gets by day by day functioning perfectly well surfing t'interweb without having their bank accounts emptied/identities cloned/or appearing on any government lists, without using something made out of hand woven yoghurt and coloured with ochre that needs the cats whisker adjusting when the barometric pressure is falling.

You love Linux.... We get it...

Honest
 
i’ve downloaded this app and bluetooth my iphone to the motorhome’s radio whilst travelling

free radio all over the world tbh as long as you have 3-4g or tinternet



Al 👍

It looks different from when I used to use it.

One interesting thing is you don't have to log into the bbc when listening to their stations :)

I have a feeling, but I might be totally wrong (need to look it up), that the BBC radio stations are outside of the license fee?

If you go on the bbc radio and video websites they ask you to,

You now need to sign in. It's quick & easy.
And we'll keep you signed in.

Sign in or Register
Why we’re asking you to sign in
You'll need to sign in to your BBC account to use parts of the BBC online, including BBC iPlayer, BBC Sounds and BBC Sport.
Signing in unlocks a BBC that’s personalised to you. And as a public service, it allows us to check we’re making something for everyone.

The radio licence was abolished in 1971!
You do not need a licence to listen whether through this app or through what the BBC are now pleased to call "sounds".

Registering to use this service on the webiste does not require a license at all.
In fact, even when using the iPlayer to watch live broadcasts you do not need to provide any license details other to say you have one (I think having to provide the license number would be a good idea so the freeloaders can't access it).

The reason why they ask you to sign in is perfectly acceptable to me.

I had the same thing, so I decided to disable Privacy Badger and the Ad Blocker and it loaded normally AND my Malawarebytes app and WIndows Defender showed no problems.
I think that it is easy to have a situation where there are "false positives" flagged by sites where there is nothing to be concerned about. Think about all those warnings that come up with browsers when you go to a site that has no SSL certificate (because they have no reason to need them) - are they all out to get you?

Be aware, be alert, but don't be paranoid.
