Me neither but we watched in some fascination as a German couple set up camp next to us on a small site just outside Shaftsbury a couple of years ago. They got out the portable satellite receiver and a laptop and settled down to watch TV while they ate their dinner. |

I can't think of Tchibo without thinking of the Big Brother Award "we" gave them in 2004 because they were selling their customers' data while giving the opposite impression on their website: http://www.bigbrotherawards.de/2004/.com [Not one of our best translations, I was living in Berlin at the time and very busy at work. I don't know which of our translators "did it" and how much QA time was spend on it.] So I wouldn't suggest ordering from Tchibo online (although I don't know if they changed their practices), but a German blog says that the net radio sold by Tchibo is the DNT IPdio, RealAudio supported, WPA2 for WLAN protection too, and generally gives it good reviews. Sorry I can't translate right now, I have to go ... http://www.andreas.de/wordpress/arch...dio-dnt-ipdio/ Sebastian |

It works very nicely, with decent sound, except that the signal in my kitchen seems to be too weak for it. I'll have to boost the signal somehow. My original internet radio had a socket for the LAN-through-the-wiring, which would have been ideal, but this doesn't. |

I wonder if the two things are related... I'd be inclined to say they should be more intelligent than that and spammers should not be buying address data from AZ Direct, but you never know ...

In which case, I suggest you go into "configure" and do a version check and a firmware upgrade. That certainly improved things for me. www.reciva.com (community>internet radios>search) is your friend for any advice and explanations. Or call or mail me :-) |

I visited a friend in his (sort of) allotment in Germany once and noticed that his neighbour had brought his television with him and connected it up to what appeared to be a car battery. You wonder why people don't stay at home. |

I wonder if the two things are related... Talking of spam, I've noticed recently that more and more innocent addresses, including one of mine, are being flagged in Mailwasher as blacklisted either by SpamCop or by a Japanese agency whose name currently escapes me. As I'm sure it's impossible to get oneself off these lists, and if one did it would probably only be days before one was back on them, it seems to me the whole system will break down before long. |
