Internet Radio

[MDE]

Hi,

Have tried searching but nothing to what I was looking for arose.

Im looking for a device of which I can connect to my TV (HDMI / RCA) from which I can browse Internet Radio stations that come with it and listen to them. Having the Video channel side of things is not necessary and I will probably wont use as I dont have a 4MB line.

Is there anything on the market that does such?

Thanks MDE

What you're looking for is called a PC. You could use a laptop as well, or even a netbook.

I have the Mede8er and I love it for video, but the radio is strictly shoutcast, so I would not recommend it for that.

I bought a Sovos radio through Takealot's Amazon service, and it uses the VTuner service, so every popular station, including local ones are on there. It plays MP3 and WMA streams, and has a FM Tuner. It is tiny, but pretty good sound, and it has a mini jack for plugging into Hi-Fi systems.
It has a rechargable battery that lasts a long time.
It has a pretty good reach. I can have it on in the bathroom, as far away from my wireless router as you can get, with a lot of brick in between, and still keeps playing.
The only bad thing is that it does not have an extendable aerial for FM, so you find yourself moving the radio around in the case of a marginal signal.

I was looking at the time as well at Philips, as they had some nice internet radios.
