UPDATE: Dec. 2009
This is not an issue for which Lusonic can be held responsible, but the product listed below has stopped working in areas where people are running a BT Home Hub network. No fix as yet and obviously BT are accountable - or at least responsible. I'm just bloody furious.
I bought the Magic Box IMP adaptor Internet radio device from these guys.

If you have a wifi router in the house, the IMP will use its signal to access the Internet and can get about 6,000 radio stations worldwide. And it will then pump them into your hi-fi!
It can also play streaming music if you have any stashed on your computer.
I don't like Internet music in my face on the one hand, (so I have it playing downstairs) and on the other hand, you can listen with hi-fi quality away from your computer.
These guys were very quick in sending the equipment and very useful in answering the odd setup question.
Just two fave stations:

Not for the faint-hearted.
Check it out and laugh your head off!

Who else plays a constant mixture ranging from Springsteen, The Shadows, Freddie and The Dreamers through to that hilarious genre known as 'Deutsche Schlager' (creamy German pop from the 50s/60 - which takes me back, and is good for a giggle (or scream).
And those are just two stations!
Go for it! Get one from Lusonic. read more
