Not that I've had any desire to depend on an external database to make an internet appliance run, this type of change by Reciva has more-or-less cemented my likelihood of NOT buying such a device, no matter how cheap they might get. If I can't depend on the service behind the device, why bother? And since I don't have a smartphone and am not likely to get one in the future if I can help it, I probably won't be going the route of depending on, or even really listening to, audio programming via the internet or streaming platforms except for the occasional download or podcast to the computer.
For the most part I'm content with NPR over-the-air programming and the slight variety in the timing of program selection by my having at least three different public radio stations/networks at my disposal over the air (who fortunately don't follow exactly the same schedule). Plus I keep one of my bedside radios on CBC R1 on the CBW 990 AM version out of Manitoba, which fortunately comes in on skip around my bedtime most nights. Old fashioned I guess, even at age 51. So is my wife.
