Internet Radio Wifi Frontier
Similar but different, like Intel and AMD or Windows and Linux. Frontier Silicon is a competing company with their own processor board that is similar to the Reciva board using an ARM processor but also usually contains an FM tuner. However, Frontier Silicon uses Vtuner as a source for their stations instead of having their own database of stations like Reciva. I always though the AE Reciva radio was one of the first ones in use since that's what you see a pic of in any news story about internet radio (or maybe the Phoenix radio which is the first one I remember ever seeing) but when I search for Reciva on Wikipedia it redirects to 'Internet radio device' and oddly says the first internet radio was the Kerbango, from the Kerbango company, founded in 1998.

There is no mention of Reciva on Wikipedia. Seems like someone should make an entry for it. The Kerbango was announced by 3com but never released.
Frutiger Condensed Font. I originally wrote this three-part WiFi radio primer and review series for the, and issues of. Each part of this series will be posted with the tag:. I hope you enjoy Part 1 below: I’ve always been a hard-core shortwave radio listener.
I like the tactile experience of turning the knobs of the shortwave, tuning in stations across the globe. So when online listening became popular, it never occurred to me to engage in this new, seemingly lesser sport; I put trying it on the back burner, and continued to enjoy my shortwave. After all, I rationalized, why listen to anything other than an actual radio? Then, at the 2012, an excellent presentation on the merits and technologies behind Wi-Fi radio intrigued me.
I found myself downloading and installing the Pro version of. On the twelve-hour drive back home from the Fest, I tuned to local radio stations across the world via the TuneIn app. I had to admit, it was a pretty powerful listening experienceone I could easily get used to. And get used to it, I did. That’s when I realized that streaming radio stations over the Internet is, essentially, content DXing. For while there isn’t any particular skill required to listen to Internet radio, it offers convenient listening opportunities I wouldn’t otherwise have, and without the rigors of travel. For example, from my home in the southeastern US, I can listen to a station in Perth, Australia––one local to that area and one that has never been, nor is likely to be, on shortwave.
I found it frankly addictive. Collector Search Failed Trial Edition Expired Car here. TuneIn’s iPad app has a beautiful, simple user interface.
If you purchase the TuneIn Pro version ($9.99 for the iPad) banner ads disappear. Since 2012, I’ve relied on my TuneIn app and either a tablet or smartphone to listen to stations. I found I could hook up my tablet to, an, or even a whole-house stereo, and enjoy music from all over the world. There was only one problem, however: while they enjoyed the music, my busy family didn’t appreciate the complexity of my radio set-up. The truth is, it did require warming up a lot of equipment––most of which is in my shack––not to mention making sure connections were in place, logging in, launching apps, and then searching for stations.
One day, referencing the cobbler’s children (who, in the old adage, go without shoes), my wife asked in exasperation, “Isn’t there some way to make listening to music around here just a little more accessible to all of us? Maybe something we could just turn on––?” The Quest Thus began my quest to purchase a dedicated Wi-Fi Radio, an Internet appliance with a singular purpose: to play online radio stations from across the globe.
Fortunately, I reasoned, the process of choosing such a radio was likely to be just as simple. I mean, how hard could it be? I was already familiar enough with the wider radio landscape to know that these radios range from about $110 to $250 in price, and that they’re widely available from a number of radio and online retailers. Moreover, I’m lucky enough to count among my friends some of the most knowledgeable experts on the topic of Wi-Fi radio––Rob De Santos, Richard Cuff, and last but not least, John Figliozzi, author of the recently updated ––all of whom had jointly presented at that 2012 Fest that ignited my interest in WiFi radio. No doubt, I thought, a group-email to these experts would rapidly solve our dilemma. Boy, was I ever wrong. My expert friends all had excellent advice, but made me aware that there’s much more involved to choosing a WiFi radio than simply selecting the best-priced or the latest model.
