Jackie, looking at the details just now the one you've opted for seems
to be about the best value for money.
The one a bit cheaper, the Acoustic Solutions FM radio at near
£100.00 looks good too, but fewer presets. It does though mention
support for Real Audio, and if you want to listen to BBC stuff then
maybe that might be a good thing. In fact, I wonder if there would be
any way of linking to Listen Again, but I doubt it as addresses for
that must be ever changing as time goes on. That really would be good
though to be able to listen to streams of programmes you've missed.
A few of the radios listed at Argos do have FM as well as the Internet
facility. Only a mmatter of time perhaps before Internet radio is
combined with DAB. That might make more sense still with the new
multi-media DAB standard when we start geting that, but we'll be faced
with the same lack of accessability no doubt.
Cheers,
From Ray

Ray, I did exactly that with my Argos search.
I opted for the Intempo because it has 99 presets on it, again
something I
think is crucial. It works wirelessly but also has the RJ45 ethernet
connection.
At the moment, I've got it playing a radio station I like listening
to. But
when I can lure my son away from a game he is playing on the PC, I'll
ask
him to walk us through the procedure of locating stations etc, and
we'll see
just how hard this is going to be. But on the basis I can listen to
Sky
Radio when I want without turning on the PC, it isn't going back
that's for
sure (smile).
This radio cost £119.99 with I think £20 off it at the moment. It's
exactly
like the Evoke one without the handle, and some differences with
controls.
If I can borrow my son's eyes for a while later, I'll also see what
happens
if we put sport in as the genre (lol).
This is really ace.
