Wifi radios - is there such a thing?

Dick_Turpin99

O.K. so I'll be the first to admitI am out of touch with technology, but is there such a thing as a radio that can be tuned in to wi-fi signals and then tuned to a station that you want?.....especially abroad, will it select a u.k station over another on the same frequency?

What's about?

thanks

Yes there are. But you seem a bit confused as to how they work they don't use frequencies like a FM or DAB radio.

They connect to the internet via Wifi that you provide they can access thousands of different stations including all BBC.

Thanks once again for the explanation

If you've got Sky then you can use a Sky Gnome. You can listen to 100+ radio stations received on the Sky box on the Gnome.

Sky no longer sell them but they are available on eBay (about £20-£30). Works up to 30 metres from your Sky box.

Some Internet Radios (e.g. Roberts) can also have an ethernet wired connection, as well as a wireless connection. You may prefer the one or the other.

My iPod touch does it to, with a cheap app (about 0.59p)

PC's do it as well as laptops and netbooks web enabled mobile phones. If it can pick up a wifi signal then that's all you need. Isn't the web wonderful.
