Internet Radio Streaming: But is that the only way to play internet radio with WDTV?

Currently the Live connects only to Pandora. I'd want Blip.fm included because I'm tired of Pandora's limited rotation and repetitive selections. Maybe in a future release if users make enough noise to WD.

not sure what you are asking here. if you mean could you use a streaming box from those services or a HTPC, jack it into the reciever and be golden, then 100% yes does it hook into the internet and stream those services itself, then no

No, this receiver does not support HD radio reception. It will get any internet streams your local stations broadcast.

I can't say, because mine never worked (problems accessing wireless network). However, I had another internet radio (the Grace was supposed to replace it), and it could get stations that had old-time radio programming. It would also pick up WFUV (which streams its shows); there's a show on that on Sunday evenings, "The Big Broadcast", that has music from the 1920s and 1930s. Radio Riel (on the internet) also has that type of music on some of its channels.

Yes, you can listen to streaming audio and webcasts that do not require a proprietary player. Our customers listen to broadcasts and stations from around the world to around the corner.If a webcast is in a standard media format - and the website allows you to download it - you can download it and play it with the Telikin's Media Player.Streaming audio and video are meant to be listened to "now" and do not require downloading.

I do not believe that you can stream Sirius since you need a password to access the stream. Believe me-- after I got my Grace, I canceled my Sirius subscription. The offerings on internet radio are so more comprehensive than Sirius, I stopped listening completely to sat radio. If wireless was mobile, XM and Sirius would disappear completely, IMHO.

Yes you can stream NPR. You can select Radio and do a search for NPR, and there are several that come up. There are also a multitude of stations of all kinds you can stream. It's a great system. I plan on buying a second one for my second floor when I have the money.

Yes, but it ia bugy, wont control full features and you will able to use only internet radio, no usb or sd data could be use. To do this you will need to use remite control!

There is a great forum for all kinds of WDTV information and help. They also have an area for hacking the player and using to play additional formats - including network support! Its at WDTVforum.com

However many (possibly most) stations are streaming their broadcasts. We have a great station in Edmond's Washington which reduces power at night and we do not receive it clearly. I was able to get the station on my little Crane WiFi radio extremely clear. I am impressed. It is clumsy to use I suppose but works real well once setup.

Hi Richard, STRDN850 Receiver doesn't have direct streaming function like accessing Pandora and TuneIn Radio. You need another device that supports streaming then you connect it on the receiver. -Vincent

The WDTV does not support RMVB, nor does the WDTV Live. If you want something that does, you can get the ASUS O!Play - TV HD Media Player (Black). The interface is not nearly as pretty or easy to use as the WDTV, but it's a cheap and capable player.

I don't think so. I don't think the duo is configured to that. Besides, DTV does not have their own internet, they have a third party to do the internet service.

I have both the WFR-1 and the WFR-20. An internet radio is not as easy to use as an over the air radio, but works better in rural areas with weak signals. We have the WFR-1 in the house, and it works well for talk radio and a little music. We plugged in auxiliary speakers for better sound. Each radio uses a different interface and different portal. Each radio gives world wide access.

Currently internet radio is the only thing I listen to using my Pure dock. I do however use the digital out to my own DAC and when one listens to a decent music stream in terms of kbps, the sound is great. I was considering purchasing a dedicated internet radio/digital content streamer component to complement my hi-fi but with the PURE dock and my iPod Touch, I no longer need to. Just remember that the sound quality always depends on the quality of the source.

I read 10/10 on another forum, but whatever the real date is, it's sometime in the next 2-3 wks. It retains the same design as the WDTV 1, but adds Ethernet and composite outs. USB ports for external drives, as before. On the software side, it does DTS-downmixing, so that means the WDTV 2 will be a lot more flexible. No need for an audio receiver anymore.pictures and info: http://electric-echoes.blogspot.com/2009/08/wd-tv-2.html

All of the Grace internet receivers will receive I Heart radio programming plus Pandora and most any station that is streamed on the internet. I would check the particular stations website to see if they are steaming their signal and through what source. If it is on the internet you can almost certainly receive it.
