I don't know about BBC Streamed Radio but Virgin Radio is there. Have a
look at the available "widgets" below to see the choice
available. New
widgets are regularly being added to the list.

http://www.chumby.com/guide

Each widget is a program that runs in the Chumby. The running time of each
widget is controlled by the OS but you may change the duration. Widgets
may be organised into channels that you have defined. eg. eBay, Stocks and
Shares, Sports, E-mail, etc.

Unfortunately not. Chumby Industries (the company that makes it) currently
don't sell them outside of the USA, not even to Canada. However, there is
at least one website that sells it internationally and it may be found on
eBay too. Once bought, Chumby Industries is quite happy to activate and
support it outside the USA.
