@BallRock: Sorry for your frustration too. But the criterial for BFB has been posted for a long time and in every remark that Alec has been made has also centered around BB service integration. We are not asking everyone to read every web page on the BB website. I've missed information as well over the years and typically responded with WTF, how come I was not told about this.
You can have a great app. No one is forcing anyone to be fully compliant with BFB.
I think it is clear the BB has a communication issue on multiple fronts. But in this case, the BFB web has been clear to the people looking for BFB certification. Even in the email back to you had links to the web page. In submitting for BFB, you are asked to the terms of BFB testing which contains links to the website. You probably need to take a little responsibility on this specific item.
Now, moving forward, it would be very easy to integrate to a service. It should like sharing which channel you are watching to BBM friends would make sense, changing your BBM status to the channel being watched would make sense. Creating bookmarks of favorite stations and allowing for the list to be shared (Facbook, Twitter, BBM, etc.) would be a good integration point.
I would not give up on your original app either. Have it in English and Norwegian. It is probably good to have most apps support multiple languages. BFB does not restrict it being in Norwegian, but it is hard to test apps if you do not know what it is saying.
