Thanks Andy, I've found it on the wiki. A lot of people are banging on about the quality of streamed radio over OTA broadcasts. For a start I'm talking about bedroom, kitchen type listening environments here.If I want quality I'll listen on my SB Touch in the lounge. The OTA broadcasts here in UK are mostly available to stream online. I just disagree that this is the way to go. I have perfectly good quality FM and DAB (at the moment) services being broadcast OTA for free from a Txer I can see from my house (so no reception issues). Why would I want to use up valuable bandwidth on my broadband over that? I see the advantage where the station you want isn't available localy as some of you describe here. In fact, I listen online to some european stations. I find it hard to accept the quality issue though. If I want quality music I get hold of a flac file and play that. The radio service I want is for easy listening stuff,nothing more. It would just be nice to listen to my favourite "radio" stations in the kitchen/bedroom without using up limited internet resources, both bandwidth and download limits, and stream my own music library to the same listening device when I'm bored with the radio....
