Re: [Internetradio] SiriusXM Streaming
Sirius has disappeared from the menu of both of my Grace radios. It is as if it was never there!

Re: [Internetradio] SiriusXM Streaming
No technical information about the changes was provided by SiriusXM in the email to customers. Now, when I try to access any channel via the Squeezebox a continuous loop plays indicating that that "If you're hearing this message then you have a device that will need an upgrade..." It encourages the listener to switch to a current technology platform. On Wed, 2015-09-30 at 06:23 -0400, Rob de Santos wrote: > Thanks for this post, Dan.

Re: [Internetradio] Guardian Article on Radio's Future
On Thanksgiving, we had Pandora playing via TiVo so that folks could see artist/title/track info on the TV screen. However, what really motivated my teenage nephew was that he could navigate YouTube through the Tivo remote. Of course talking baby and cat videos soon followed... For pure music amongst those who don't have iSomethings with playlists full of music, Pandora seems to be solidly in the lead. I wonder how they'll survive as I'm not hearing any commercials lately. Many shops and restaurants seems to be using Pandora in the NYC area. Wonder if they are paying commercial royalties for use in a public place? On Mon, 2013-12-02 at 22:41 -0500, Rob de Santos wrote: Thanks for posting the link John. A few thoughts in reaction: The radio industry wisdom is that standalone internet radios are a dead end. I suspect that is partly wrong. Radios with internet capability as well as FM reception would seem to be a viable product. My fairly new and expensive receiver at the heart of the entertainment center has a built-in internet radio. I've written in several places that radios should have more VCR/DVR like capability to record and playback. Maybe that's considered obsolete in an on-demand world but I have my doubts. The portal dependence issue remains a problem for internet radio. Reciva really missed the chance to be where the TuneIn app is now. They still have the 2nd largest database behind TuneIn. I use radios/apps which are based on Reciva, TuneIn, Vtuner, and a few more. I'd be much happier though if my favorites were portable. Content is the first thing you have to have. No technological delivery mechanism can overcome bad or missing content. DAB is an outdated technology. The British government remains wedded to it despite the obvious shortcomings. DAB+ is much better but much more expensive to implement. Ibiquity's HD radio is better than DAB but suffers from a variety of problems that I need not detail to those reading this. DRM seems largely forgotten by the analysts but as we know, it may have some limited life on shortwave in terms of combining voice or music with data transmission but given the general direction of shortwave it may be too late. Perhaps someone could update us on where India is with the digital decision and if DRM is still alive there. I've seen reports that Brazil is divided on the DRM vs. Ibiquity decision. From some indications, Ibiquity has won out in Mexico and maybe Canada? Anyone have clarity on that?

Re: [Internetradio] Reciva changes direction and future of internet radios unclear
There is a new forum for Reciva orphans -- hopefully my use of that word is premature -- at http://recivarefuge.net. This forum is a combination replacement for both the Reciva sponsored forum and the Google based Sharpfin mailing list. Rotel, the company that seems to be taking over support for the Reciva firmware, has a radio management portal at http://rotel.reciva.com. I logged on there with my normal Reciva credentials and all my radios were there. So perhaps there is no need to panic. ___ Internetradio mailing list Internetradio@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/internetradio To unsubscribe: Send an E-mail to internetradio-requ...@hard-core-dx.com?subject=unsubscribe, or visit the URL shown above.
Re: [Internetradio] Reciva changes direction and future of internet radios unclear
Remember that the Sharpfin project can at least allow for a local database if the Reciva directory ever goes away. On Thu, 5 May 2011, Rob de Santos wrote: Excellent observations, Rich. There were hints the past few months that something was up. Development on beta versions all but stopped; the user forums were at least partially closed; and rumors were that large numbers of staff were laid off. Well before that though, Reciva has suffered from a failure to update their firmware in a timely manner and other competitors had added features that they failed to match with equivalent or better options. Anyone who has tried one of the latest versions of the Logitech products can see what is possible. My hope is that if they do abandon the hardware side, the firmware is made open source allowing those interested to keep it alive. Whether the new strategy can be implemented any more successfully than the old one is unclear. Their financial position is also unclear. -- -Rob de Santos -Original Message- From: Richard Cuff [mailto:rdc...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2011 11:22 PM To: rdesan...@afana.com; Internet radio discussion Subject: Re: [Internetradio] Reciva changes direction and future of internet radios unclear Not a real surprise when you stop think about how how computing technology is moving to an always-connected state. This shift, as they state, decouples their work from the gizmos themselves -- if a device can interact with the application-programming interface (the API) then the device can use whatever info that Reciva has created. The shift also allows Reciva to hedge their bets - by ignoring the platform itself and focusing on the value-added of their station information. Take this Google Mail website that I'm using -- doesn't matter if I use Windows 7, Mac OS, a Linux flavor, or a mobile phone; I can still access GMail. What could mess things up for Reciva-based hardware is a blessing of Flash audio by Apple for its iPhones / iPods / iPads. As long as a significant chunk of the web audience doesn't have access to Flash formatted material, we users of Internet Radio hardware won't likely be shut out.
