+ Intergration with Windows Media Player
-
U can only store a very small number of stations in memory, despite a plethora of stations available on the web.
It's slighyly tedious searching for a stations.
No remote crontrol.

+ Apart from the packaging is recyclable... nothing else is good about this!
- The reception is a joke! I have wireless connectivity throughout my house with a strong signal achievable in the garden. This radio connects to a channel only once every couple of minutes and even then loses its signal within 30 seconds. Its now a redundant box no longer plugged in. Complete waste of money!

+ its great to listen to the a number of stations worldwide . its easy to use and sounds great. once plugged in it searches for netwoks straight away. within 2 mins u have access to hundreds of stations accross the world. it can also play your mp3 tracks stored in your pc once u allow sharing enabled. brill product. i use it all the time. value 4 money. i recommend this product if u love listening to radio and have broadband connection or have low dab signal in your area.
- no remote, u have to turn the tuning knob several times to find the station u want and only has 5 presets.

+ Brings comprehensive radio reception from around the world into any room in the house. The radio is stylish, easy to use & of very listenable sound quality for its modest dimensions.
- None.

+ this is the best present I've ever had. And I've now bought 2 for other people. It looks great. It's easy to navigate through the hundreds of stations available. - it looks fantastic. The 'listen again' facility is brilliant. Pausing, browsing is easy... Searching by 'genre' is a good way to find new stations you just wouldn't stumble across.
- It's hard to think of any really. The first one I bought was around £150 and now it's only about £60. But I've had mine for over a year and use it every day.

+ It's easy to use, convenient, and good looking. It's also quicker to boot than a computer, and occupies less space, but you can still use a computer to set up your favorite channels and podcasts. There's lots of well organised content (most of which I'd never have found if I was just using a computer at home), and you can upgrade the firmware to get new features.
- If you use a long security key it can take a while to enter it using the controls. Annoyingly you have to re-enter the key if you upgrade the firmware.

+ Good sound and reception. Compared to other products, value for money.
- It's ugly and the display is poor. The controls are difficult to see in poor light. A remote control would be usefull, as would stereo.

+ The idea of internet radio.
- Unreliable internet service. Interupted broadcasts. Random disconnection, on occasions for several hours!

+ BBC Listen Again straight from the radio - awesome. I now spend all day listening to BBC 6Music and the evenings catching up on Radio 4 listen again. A simply phenomenal amount of stations to choose from and can even stream straight from your own mp3 collection if you setup winamp or your preferred player to do so.
- display doesn't display song titles information like my other DAB radio - this display just shows what station and stream quality - a minor niggle for such a useful radio.

+ Great sound quality. Looks good. Great idea. Especially the listen again.
- Reception can be poor when quite close to wireless router.
purchased 11 Dec 2007
+ Looks good and appeared to work OK.
- Loud hum when playing. Also the broadband reception is terrible. I wasn't able to use the radio in the room I intended. For me it was a complete waste of money.
purchased 14 Oct 2007
+ Easy to configure, clear display, excellent sound quality
- A slight buzz when both playing and when the unit is on standby

+ UK radio anywhere in the (internet connected) world - awesome
-
internal power supply, easier to provide multi-voltage options with an external transformer
wifi radio reception is not good - needs a better antennae
