DTS Play-Fi: set your wireless music free!

2017-06-02 Thread Dane Trethowan

Hi!

This article/review on Play-Fi is a bit dated but still worth the read 
if you're into Wi-Fi, wireless music and streaming as I am.


Personally I think Apple's Airplay is on the point of Retirement given 
there are so many better options such as Play-Fi available on devices now.


I'm very glad to see Sonos getting some good competition at long last.

I'm not saying Sonos systems are bad rather they're close and not 
flexible, Play-Fi and other systems challenge and change that.


Anyway read on and make your own judgement.

In short a VPN will in our case allow you to listen to the BBC because you are 
able to log on as if you are coming from the UK thus fooling the bbc server.

The one I usually use is at 
www.witopia.net

It's a bit pricy though - I haven't checked it recently.  Up to about R1000 per 
year.  And last time I used it would not log on to the BBC server.

Anyone else have other suggestions for a reliable and accessible VPN?

Actually, I could earlier but the latest version of their software is 
inaccessible on PC's and on Android encryption is very weak as we use 
accessibility features.  The only way I can use it is Iphone but there I have 
data restrictions.  So I can but I can't.  I am a bit irritated.  Any other way?

I would have preferred Guerilla cricket but they have no crowd sound effects 
and I don't like the atmosphere there.

Hi,

If I can suggest I use Tunnelbear VPN,  but you will agree it is not as good as 
listening directly.

Some hope for champions' trophy if cricket radio broadcasts then you may get it 
on west Indian stations.  If you need help contact me nearer the time.
Do keep in touch.  Also, any private stations?  even off screen will do.

By the way, All India radio have stopped broacasting cricket since we got this 
new government in 2014 except CWC.  I hate these people.

Found an article on the net that stated that the SABC will not be broadcasting 
either the matches between England and SA or the champions trophy matches.

So we are stuck with the BBC which will not let us listen.

The only is now to get a VPN service for access to the BBC!

Any plan for the next matches and the Champion's trophy?  I hate these cricket

Hi Friends,

Ordinarily, whenever Souuth Africa plays cricket matches the commentary is 
broadcaste on radio 2000 but this time I don’t see it there.  Could anyone in 
South Africa enlighten me on this?  I know it is there on BBC Radio 5live 
Sportsextra but unfortunately I can’t get it in India.  Any help will be 
appreciated.  Thank you.

With best wishes,
