I bought one a couple of weeks ago and it's fantastic. Works like a charm. I guess the next step for me will be the Wifi internet clock radio Aluratek has. When it falls to the right price point....I'm jumping in and getting one.

I guess there's nothing from stopping you from using this on a laptop. Also recording any of the streams. For an old radio fan, this is fantastic!

yeah, any sys admins out there? it would be accessing the same IP addresses as your browser. If there are blocked domains, I wonder if the device would get thru? Probably not. It would be subject to the same firewall nonsense as your work computer. The beauty here is that it's so cheap, you can afford to try it, i'm sure we'd all find some situation where it's the perfect thing.

Please note - If you use a high resolution setting on you monitor (i.e. 1792 x1344) the unit's software does not 'scale' to the resolution, so things get crowded.

Otherwise - it's a nice toy, shortwave radio for a new generation. However, I don't like the CONTINUOUS advertising banner that takes up 20-25% of the window, add in the two Aluratek banners and 33% of the software's window is used up by advertising - NOT a good thing.

Soooooooo, overall it's a nice idea but it needs work - maybe like MS, you need to wait till v2 before things REALLY fall into place.

BTW - there is a software program that plays this tune: Screamer
Radio.

a.

This is for the review by OldMan: How do you think they provide free service? TANSTAAFL = There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.....someone has to pay for the service. I don't mind the ads to get 13,000 stations FREE!! Enjoy. T
