Ok so there's AlienBBC but I have been quite unable to get it working and before the last software update had got Radio 7 in my Favorites which have now gone - for ever? I agree with that. I have a DAB radio too, but I hardly ever use it because it's stand-alone and not plummed into the hifi. Being able to listen to more regular and digital radio stations would be great. I have managed to find Virgin in one of the radio index's though. :) It sounds quite backward to want to listen to regular FM and digital radio on the Squeeze but there you have it. Haven't tried Alien but read about it, and it scared me. And I've been using Unix/linux since 1996 I do think Slim need more PR/reviews in the UK though. I got mine through broadbandstuff.co.uk and am very glad I did! Lawrence -- Aslak ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

And I've been using Unix/linux since 1996 It's really not that difficult if one is used to Unix, and even if one is not. The trouble is that one has to pick up bits from various sources and they don't all work well together. But there's no actual mystery, or hard Unix work, about it. Looking at AlienBBC I remember now what the problem was. I run SlimServer on my fileserver box (Fedora), and it dosn't have X, which is a requirement for mplayer. So I'm kind of screwed because I really don't want to clog up the machine with an X install. Well, I guess the problem is my own making.
