Andy,

I've had the same initial problems with Tunein Radio.  The pause/stop buttons 
are towards the bottom right portion of the screen (not far right-hand).  It is 
a bit annoying when a programme comes on and you just want to shut it up but 
not the speech!  <Smiles>

You don't have to create an account.  From what I can see, that's useful if you 
want to subscribe to the Radio Times info.

Once you've been into the stations you want, you'll find a screen with the most 
recent stations and they'll be there.  I haven't as yet bothered with presets 
myself.  I'd be interested from others if these are worth it and how you do it.

Well done, Andy, we're both learning to drive together!  <Grins>
