That's the second portable Internet radio unit you have - or perhaps
the third - let truth be told.
Not only do you have your Blaze ET but you also have the Samsung Galaxy
phone, command it to "Listen To BBC Radio 4" and see what happens <smile>.
Happy Listening whatever and however you're listening.

Hello everybody
I posted a couple of days ago regarding the Victor Reader Stream and
the Blaze ET. I’m very pleased to be able to report now that my
Victor Reader Stream (2013 Generation) has decided that it does like
my network after all, and it has now gone online and downloaded a
major update to its firmware. I’m delighted to say that the V4.7.2
update has reinstated the working links to the BBC’s radio services
and, as such, they are all working again. That is, for me at least, a
pretty major plus point. I’ve been looking for a portable radio
solution that gives me Internet radio services for quite some time,
and now, I have one sitting on the arm of my chair.
One thing I like about the Victor Reader Stream is its Internet
playlist support. Tell it which country you want to listen too, and
you get a menu full of stations from that country. I think, from
memory, the International playlist is actually all grouped into one,
which could be better. But at least it works.
Incidentally, I have also been researching the Victor Reader Stratus,
to see what the differences are between it and the Stream. It appears
that the Stratus is a far less portable version of the Stream. It
contains a CD drive, SD card slot, USB port, I think that is a fun
size port. But it does not handle miscellaneous audio books, has no
Audible support and is far less flexible about text and other files.
Given this information, I see absolutely no advantage in the Stratus.
I don’t see anything that it will do better than either the Stream or
the Blaze ET. So as far as I’m concerned, I have the right models to
suit me.
