Try python-iview - or one of the alternatives. Download, then watch at
leisure.

One is not supposed to download from iView but

a) they don't support a format that works for me;
b) we don't have sufficient bandwidth;
c) we pay for downloaded data;
d) I'm a taxpayer too, even though I don't live in Sydney; so
e) fuck 'em.

I was able to use Chromium, too, after jumping though lots of hoops to
get the Chrome flash plugin installed, but generally don't bother.

I haven't had any problems with radio though.
