Internet Radio Stations without a PC

Advantages: Over 1000 radio stations
Disadvantages: Mains only, no batterys

...I bought this radio to save putting my pc on. I often listen to radio stations from all over the world so this seemed a good buy. Basicly the radio looks like any other portable radio. It has a mains adaptor that powers the unit but the battery door on the back does not come off so the unit is mains powered only. The radio requires that you have a wireless network for the internet at home. It supports WEP and WPA security but it is a bit tricky putting the code in. Thankfully this is a do once thing as the radio remembers the code. It can work with any broadband provider, not just bt like some of their other products they have came out with in recent years. Once the radio is connected to the broadband line via wifi it is ready to be tuned into a station. This is very easy to do. You can search for stations by location or by...

Review of BT CCH256 Internet Radio

Love is there on the internet

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...***Forgive me if the category choice for this seems a little odd . The only other close one was Online Dating, which in my mind ties in with dating websites and suchlike, and really doesn't apply to my situation . Also, this review is probably not going to be particularly useful to anyone - it's simply me documenting my experience of an internet relationship . Please rate it as you find it, but bear in mind my category dilemma *** I first met Phill in September last year. I'd been playing an online multiplayer game for about 3 years up to that point, when I started to get a little tired of always playing with American players - nothing against them, just the timing of activities never seemed to work for me . So, I asked on the games forums if anyone had a UK linkshell (similar to a guild) they'd be happy for me to join, I got a reply...

Internet Radio reception at its best

Advantages: Small, works very well ,easy to use
Disadvantages: mains only (but not a real problem)

...My wife likes country music, I know I know ! but a lot of people do!! Any way there is a definate lack of music stations in the UK so I thought Id buy her an INTERNET RADIO so she could have access to her country music, To be honest I like 'pop latino' music so I thought I might get to hear a few good Latin stations as well. I started looking at the various radios available on the net and it soon became clear that more and more products are becoming available in this quite new and exciting internet spinoff. Most are small with futuristic designs and the Blik Revo radiostation caught my eye. What set it apart from the rest? well, not only is it a first rate internet radio its also one of the first DAB enabled radios using the latest DAB+ system, There is also a reasonable FM reciever built in (although after listining to the DAB...

CIAO's Internet

Advantages: Sourse of inspiration and much usefulness. An easy place to start your ciao-ing. Gets great reads.
Disadvantages: You may not eb interested in the internet, but this is where it all happens (mostly)

...Let me first make this clear; this is my opinion on the internet section on Ciao, and not the internet as a whole. With all the time I spend on the Internet, I’d forgive you all for thinking it was my number one favourite thing in the whole big wide World. Its raining though (lots), so this year, I’ve had my first real introduction in to the ways of the web. However, with its overall growth in popularity, all around the globe, it comes as no surprise that Ciao’s Internet section is as popular as it is. I think (actually...I KNOW), it’s been one of my most successful areas of writing in. This is mostly because this section is where you’ll find the opinions on Ciao itself. They actually provide probably less actual help than some others, but are always an interesting read. Opinions on ‘How...

MONEY LAUNDERING AND INTERNET FRAUD - THE FACTS

Advantages: Plenty of ignorant people to defraud in the world
Disadvantages: I'll find you

...Today, I would like to compose a somewhat in depth look at money laundering, internet fraud and scams in general. Ciao does not have a specific category for what I will discuss, but this category suits the purpose for best of all and I hope will be of interest in any case. As a background and for some kind of context - I work for the UK government preventing money laundering and terrorist financing. My work consists of educating businesses who operate money transmission services, bureau de changes and those who accept particularly large cash payments from customers. I also enforce legislation which ultimately can lead to financial civil penalties and criminal prosecution leading to prison sentences. I also have a keen interested in associated activities such as internet scams; "get-rich-quick" schemes and other methods where...

Kaspersky Internet Security - average protection

Advantages: Provides basic tools for anti virus, easy to install
Disadvantages: none really, just prefer AVG.

...As a university student we have to pay a rediculously high amount for tuition fee's so the college I am doing my foundation degree in offers free laptops for the duration of the course. The laptop comes fully equipped with Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 and it really does the job. Most anti virus software is available for free with the opportunity to upgrade however it is worth it from a business perspective, to buy something like this. Kaspersky - available from http://www.kaspersky.co.uk/kis25orkav30?THRU&reseller=43021&gclid=COjpgZPllp4CFVtn4wod6BIzlw - is a security software which provides anti virus protection and identity theft protection. I often purchase things online and I, like anybody, have downloaded applications. Loosing work for university would be incredibly frustrating so I am pleased with the protection available...

Review of Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 (PC CD)

.BT internet

Advantages: very easy to install, three packages to choose from.
Disadvantages: You get disconnected after every two hours.

...BT INTERNET When I got my new pc one of the first things I wanted to do was to get the Internet, so I kept asking my mum to get the internet and telling her about all the good prices on offer out there and that I really needed it for my home work (lol). Then about six months later she telephoned BT and asked them for one of their Internet installation disks. When the disk arrived in the post I had to install it because no body else knows much about the computer. I found the installation process and signing up extremely easy and very fast. I think BT Internet is one hundred percent the best, because of many things, such as, it is very easy to install and set up, and it is quite simple and fast to register all your details and other things such as method of payment etc, There are three packages to choose from with BT...

BBC Radio 1 Review

Advantages: Great Djs, Good music, Funny
Disadvantages: Run by BBC

...Hi today i will be reviewing BBC Radio 1. I usually listen to Radio 1 at night as its something to do while trying to get to sleep (not a bad thing!). I personally enjoy the Chris Moyles Show and Scott Mills mainly because I find Chris funny and Scott has some great features from the old angry pizza man wind up to the new Whats Becky's Forté which features Becky the Assistant Producer trying to find that talent she excels at. The Chris Moyles show is different than most other shows on Radio 1 in that its not just the presenter that gets involved the whole team have a great time and in turn help you to get ready for whatever your going to. During the day there is Jo Whiley, Sarah Cox and Edith Bowman. I personally don't listen to these just because I'm usually busy. For the few times I have listened to them they do film...

Get Into The Groove

Advantages: Never get bored. lot's to listen to, never pay subscriptions again
Disadvantages: Can be too much choice

...WiFi Internet Radio is the first radio that is able to access over 99% of internet radio stations broadcast all over the world. Technology like this has never before been available and the benefit of being able to listen to absolutely any station is excellent. Once you have one of these you wonder what you did without it. This radio is able to link with all three major streaming formats. What's even more is that there is no subscription charge, no signal coverage problems and no international content boundaries. I love the clarity of sound this radio gives. This radio gives you 10,000 radio stations to listen to by just pressing a button and all of the stations sound very clear. You really are spoilt for choice when deciding what to listen to. It is really easy to use you just have to have a Wi-Fi network that needs a broadband...
