No, the streams you are talking about are through the internet,
the radio from the media center is literally a little tiny fm
radio that keysoft can talk to. The radio picks up the stations,
according to instructions (like frequency) from keysoft and
passes the audio to keysoft, which then outputs it. The internet
streams are basically content that the bn is constantly getting
from the web and playing, whereas the fm radio is just a bunch of
radio waves that the radio chip picks out of the air and decodes
into digital signals that the bn can deal with. Hope that made
at least a bit of sense.
Have a great day,
Alex

Linda, you bring up an interesting
question. For somebody who's a lot more
technically minded than me, is it
necessary to have the radio feature on
the BN in order to be able to receive
webcasts from radio stations? Just
curious. Hugh

Hi all,
I agree on the games, but love the
radio. You can get the
stations via the internet if you know
the call letters of the
station. Doing it that way the radio is
very clear. My server
is earthlink and it works great for
this.

Ray,
I agree with you and would say that the
games and radio are
luxuries we can
do without. I don't use the games at
all anymore. Oh yes I
checked a
couple of them out when they first came
out but that was a couple
of years
ago I think and I haven't checked
them, out since and don't
intend to.
These things could be sold separately
for those who insist on
having them.
Thanks.

Hi Paul:
With all due respect, no on the walky
talky feature. You can get
push to
talk and direct connect cell phones for
that. Strictly a
personal opinion,
but I think the FM Radio is a piece of
junk and ought to be done
away with.
I can't even get it to pick up our local
jazz station and we're
less than a
mile from its tower.
