+## Known Issues / Notes
+
+The full functionality is enabled when you are a UK-based listener, and signed in to your BBC account. The BBC has slowly been moving towards excluding non-UK listeners from using its Sounds platform, more details [here](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/help/questions/listening-outside-the-uk/outside-uk-changes). This provider currently allows access to live and catch up radio to International listeners via the Sounds API, but this could be restricted in the future.
+
+## Not Yet Supported

+- Pausing and seeking live radio
+- The international menu should show avaiable podcasts, this will be supported in a future release, but is not currently
+- Showing the currently playing song on catch-up
+- For signed-in users, accessing your subscribed content through the library is not yet supported, but is planned
