I presume this problem is with the Onkyo and the Roberts is playing OK. Is this correct?

I haven't experienced this problem and I don't know what would cause it. If it is caused by a buffering issue within the Onkyo, you might be able to work around it by setting the stream.options property to delayHLS=20 (see this section). If this doesn't fix it, I don't have any other suggestions.

This isn't possible unless there is some way to prevent the radio from sending byte-range requests. I am surprised that the radio would do this if it has been told to play a stream that you have entered as a custom radio station URL. Perhaps you could contact the radio manufacturer for advice.
