(REQ) Internet Radio

Anyone see any deals in the sales for a good internet radio

(ie connect via WiFi to play Internet Radio stations remote from PC/router ?)

Help appreciated

PC World and Currys in NI sometimes have their Logik IR100 on special offer from time to time. Usually £49.99. At one stage they were selling them for £39.99, which is when I bought one. They're currently priced at £80 though.

I think Aldi do wifi radios from time to time also

Will be hard to justify to she who must be obeyed, for a small radio !!

Will keep looking for something a wee bit more reasonable !!

It does a bit more than just be a normal radio in fairness..

That said, I reckon the version you looked at is the pricey one that has built-in speakers.

Here's a much cheaper model - you get less (no option for wired network, no shuffle, poor LCD), but that's a great price.

I have the M1001 model and its a very good piece of kit. Might pick up one of those cheaper ones for the bedroom, though I don't have much confidence in wireless giving a smooth signal from extension to the bedroom through concrete walls.

I see that the new Argos catalogue has the Bush internet radio reduced from E140.49 to E99.99

UK link

and the Ministry of Sound Media Streaming Internet Radio reduced from E200.49 to E179.99

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/0490531/Trail/searchtext>INTERNET+RADIO.htm

which has 16 watts of power compared to 3 watts on the Bush. Theres also a 3.5W Intempo in the catalogue for E149.99.

My view is for the additional output, the Ministry of Sound is probably worth paying the extra for.

Anyone used any of these ?

go to www.currys.co.uk and put in internet radio in the search.

2 models Logik IR100 44.99 sterling and Logik IRMA1 34.97 sterling.

As Byte said the Logik IT100 was 80 sterling and 130 euro in the local Currys.

Exchange rate is good at the moment as well.

Would either of those two models work with a wired broadband modem, (not wireless)?
