I thought that the Squeezebox came quite well out of the feature.

A 2 minute piece on primetime TV covering 4 different products for
streaming music is not going to provide a detailed analysis of any of
them, but from the perspective of the general public, I would think
Squeezebox had the least worst of the disadvantages given for each
product (iTrip : illegal in UK, Airport Express : need to go back to
computer to change tracks, Squeezebox : doesn't play tracks with iTunes
DRM, Sonos : v. expensive) 

OK, they didn't mention that Sonos doesn't play iTunes tracks with DRM
either but I think the price quoted for Sonos (starting at GBP1400  for
3 rooms...) would be enough to put off the average viewer - particularly
when they would be more likely to earmark the family budget for the HDTV
kit shown on the first feature in the program...

The viewing figures for the show should be on www.barb.co.uk in a
couple of weeks.
