Buffering - Iplayer good Tunein bad, but why?

Having signed up, I suspect this forum is more for content producers than mere listeners, so, ahem, sorry for the intrusion, but seeing as I'm here maybe this is an easy question

I'm 90% listening to BBC speech radio. Using tunein I can choose a 48K bit rate, but still it buffers and stops maddeningly quite often (at least hourly). Using iplayer (at unknown bitrate, my ears say higher) it hardly ever buffers.

Why? How's it work? Just curious really

Thanks
