Excellent offer n my opinion. Built in speaker is not great but you can hook up to an amp. Remember to update firmware in the menus when you first set it up.

Good price but pretty poor reviews. Unable to stream any of the BBC radio stations.  Shame it doesn't run off battery, could do with it for the bathroom. |

Hot from me. Already got a Logik internet radio and I wouldn't do without one now, so much choice its unbelievable. This is probably the cheapest you will get an internet radio for if you are looking for an introduction and this one has an ethernet port on it so you don't need a wireless network (although its obviously better with one for portablility). Will try and convince mrs that we need one for the kitchen

Just set up, only took a few minutes although putting in network password was a pain with the dial as its 26 characters! Updated firmware from 1.30 to current 1.51in a couple of minutes.
First impressions:- 1) Sound pretty good and not as bad as some have made out. 2) Display really good with large digital clock with day & date, current station/track streaming & scrolling news feeds. 3) Nice menu system, loads of options. 4) Easy to access music library on PC, and its doesn't miss the first few seconds of the tracks like my Logik IR100 does! 5) Build quality a bit cheap and my Logik feels like its built like a tank in comparison even though that was a budget buy too! Really impressed so far, if reliabilty proves ok then this is a steal at this price |

There were 5 in Newport PC World - I bought 2, one for the kitchen and the other for the bedroom. Works excellently and update is easy.  Great find |
