Hi,

I'm looking some advice, I'm considering a network radio for my kitchen to replace the old am/fm thing I have at present. As I don't get great reception there I thought something that picks up my home Wi-Fi so I can stream internet radio stations would be a good idea. However I'm not sure of a good reliable model at the kind of price that wouldn't make me cry if it gets dropped in the soup!!

Any help appreciated.

I just put my iPhone in my docking station, so if you have an iPhone or iPod touch, you're halfway there.

True, I had thought of that after my post, which app do you use for net radio???

I use an Imp Radio by Magic Box
http://www.theimpradio.com/

Not used it in about a year as my internet connection doesn't seem stable enough to allow streaming and gaming at the same time (in fact gaming is a bit iffy a lot of the time)

I paid less than £30 for it about 4 years ago so they should be dirt cheap if you can find one now

Possibly, might not be keen on taking it with me when I move (hopefully soon)
