walshie Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm not usually a fan of technology, but living in the sticks, we can only get about 4 radio stations on regular FM and about 15 or so on DAB. I've been looking at various options for my man cave and decided on an internet radio. It arrived this morning and all I can say is Wow! It does FM, DAB and this magic trickery called internet radio. No longer stuck with 4 stations, I have 25000 to choose from. What have I been missing all this time? Anyone got one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I use my smart phone internet radio app and stream to bluetooth speaker. Choice is good, especially rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ph5172 Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I also use an app for mine, mainly when i am in the gym as i pick a station that plays constant music (with the occasional advert) - i do use normal DAB day to day though as i prefer to have a bit of chat every now and again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy Funker Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I had this issue recently after the Mrs wanted a radio in kitchen. My solution was quite simple, a Google home mini. Walk into kitchen say "hey Google, play radio whatever" and it does. It's actually brilliant for other things too above and beyond the radio problem I got it for.

Retsdon Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I use my phone through a Bluetooth speaker. My latest discovery is freesound.org - a site where people upload recordings of divers subjects. I've struck on the dawn chorus recordings and play them on loop when I'm doing stuff around the flat here in Saudi. Birds, chickens, the occasional pheasant and the sound of distant church bells - I can almost forget that I'm stuck here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munzy Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Radioplayer app for me on iPhone and then send it to speaker via Bluetooth. I’m full time renovating our house at the moment so the radio keeps me going... 9am - LBC (Nick Ferrari) 10am - LBC (James O’Brien) 12noon - Absolute Radio (Leona Graham) 1:30pm - Bored of radio so switch to my Spotify playlists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
