   BTW, I started the car where there was** no cellular signal.  I forget   
   if I had turned off the phone or the app.   And Tunein played for a full   
   10 minutes just on previously buffered data.   IIRC my phone has 64GB of   
   storage and maybe that made a difference.   
      
      
   **I went to Jamestown, Yorktown, and Norfolk and I think they all had   
   good coverage but north of there and south of Waldorf Maryland is very   
   rural and there were a lot of areas with no T-Mobile coverage and not   
   that much Verizon or anything else.   The FM radio still worked,   
   however, and AM though no station I liked.
