TorahResource Radio on tuneIn not recognized by Alexa
« on: August 10, 2016, 01:43:26 pm »
Hello,

Alexa does not recognize "TorahResource Radio" when asked to play it on tuneIn. Please let me know if there is a way to have Alexa recognize this particular tuneIn radio station.  I am able to play the station on the Echo using  the AlexaApp, but not via voice command.  Alexa does ask if I want to play "TorahResource Radio", and when I reply "yes" it cannot find it.  I have tried all kinds of pronunciations.

Thanks,
Archie

It's all in how you ask.

I just asked my Echo and then my Dot:  "Alexa, play TuneIn station TorahResource Radio", and I was connected to the station.

I ALWAYS precede the station name with "play TuneIn station . . .".  This way Echo knows where to look for what I requested.

Next problem, please.
