try installing iheartradio or tunein on your phone, maybe that will help.

i dont have iheartradio but i can stream stuff off it no issues "ok google play zm on iheartradio" google responds "of streaming zm on iheartradio"

i have never heard that error you have quoted above

I just say "Ok Google play The Breeze Auckland" and it responds with "Playing The Breeze Auckland on Tunein" and starts streaming the live radio station. I don't remember setting anything up for it to do this, just seemed to work out of the box.

I can say Play RTHK2 and it plays the Hong Kong channel RTHK 2 from TuneIn. That's really good for our family.

Thanks all … small hiatus with Google Home as my mother died early this morning, so back to Australia tomorrow.

GH will have to wait for my return.

I have two Google Homes one of which is hardly used at all. I am going to replace that with a Leonovo Smart Display. I already have an 8" model which I like so have bought the 10" model for the family room and will move the 8" model to my bed to replace the. I wonder what the used market is for GH devices since I plan to sell it?

Oh dear, b##***y stupid device 😆

Tried all suggestions to get iHeart radio, but still the "need information in the app" message. Also, although weather is set to C, it still gives temperatures in F.
