And just to add to this for the original posters benefit: Reciva, vTuner, ShoutCast, Live365 are all basically the same thing. They are all "portals" or directories of Internet Radio stations out there. SD's offers the later two, I use the later three and I can say the streams are pretty much the same station offerings on all three. As just one quick idea on how your SD box will give you more flexibility, the Reciva web site boasts 65 genres. While, by example, using ShoutCast via SB3 shows 381 genres. Again, same streams, just better organized with more targeted and narrowed genre searches. Add to this built in directories with direct streaming from: Sky.fm, RadioIO, SomaFM, DI.com, BBC, Virgin, RadioTime, etc... and you have (IMHO) a very powerful, versatile, well organized and much more genre specific Internet Radio device. I'd bet stream content on Reciva is pretty much the same as the others listed above, it's how this is all organized on your little SD device that really adds value to the entire SD product line. :) I'm sure there are other reasons to like an SD product over Reciva for Internet Radio streaming, but those come to mind off the top. :) -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50545 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
