    Ack - would rec the roberts wm-202 but it has no remote. Also no dock, but there's a aux in - you can get a cable in halfords for less than a fiver.

    I'm really liking this, by the way:
    http://www.pure.com/products/product.asp?Product=VL-61294 which ticks all your boxes, i think.

    I really like the look of the pure, but it's pretty expensive, has no built in dock and some of the reviews give the usability/touch screen/radio a bit of a hammering for the price

    do you own one?

    No - price was a decider for me on that as well. I would look at getting one mid-next year when the firmware has been updated and the price drops a little. I'm currently considering a second roberts - have one in my study and want one for the kitchen. Maybe santy will be good this year :)

    edit - btw, there's a dock available for the pure (at extra cost tho)

    decided to go with this I came to my senses sacrificing wifi would be just silly.

    :) I was going to suggest that, but the price is quite near the pure- maybe £80 or so in the balance? It looks really nice, but it seems to have quite a big footprint?

    Good choice, personally I think my DAB radio is waste of space but WIFI is the business indeed.

    The price of the pure wasn't a big problem but I didn't want to fork it out and not get everything I wanted and the reviews din't fill me with much confidence :D

    I've an Avanti Flow:

    http://whathifi.com/Review/Pure-Digital-Avanti-Flow/

    It's pretty amazing the sound quality out of it. Wifi, DAB, iDock and the music streaming is great too.

    I think they are starting to appear in stores here too?

    What do you lads think of this: http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/1833895/art/aq/revo-iblik-radiostation-d.html#tech-specs

    I'm looking for a wifi radio which has an IPOD dock, and this seems to have that as well as DAB.

    I need the wifi as I want to listen to non-English language talk radio, specifically French talk radio.

    My budget is c. €200.

    Thanks

    Been very impressed with it so far.

    Very easy to use, the sound is fantastic, was setup and listening to streams in 2 or 3 minutes.

    Really suprised at how loud it is for the size, the neighbours won't be happy ;)

    the lounge could be a bit better but all in all it's a fantastic well built radio.

    reccomended
