I'm off to B&Q to see if my local one has any. *I got a good deal last year*

I've just bought an internet radio in Comet for £39, less than you might spend
on an aerial for a DAB radio, and it doesn't need an aerial at all! Well, not
an external one at any rate. Presumably it has something built in that enables
it to pick up my wireless network anywhere in the house. I can either use it
as a little standalone bedside radio with its own loudspeaker, or listen in
stereo on headphones, or plug it into the hi-fi. Sound quality is variable,
but the best stations are a lot better than DAB, and there are *thousands* of
them!

Disappointingly, but perhaps not surprisingly, the British stations tend to be
among the worst for sound quality and reliability of connection, while the
best ones I've discovered (so far) are all foreign.

Rod.
