Quick comparison
Ireland   Reciva - 34   Radiotime - 17
UK        Reciva about 1500  Radiotime - about 250

The Wifi Radio in the UK (e.g. AE, Roberts, Bush, BBC, Pico) which can
receive RealAudio BBC are Reciva chipset based and so users really only
consider one Internetradio directory and that has massive support. 
Reciva also have a AlienBBC like facility for BBC "listen Again". 
Users can easily add news stations and more importantly correct
entries.  

The Squeezebox has no clear directory which users can easily add new
stations. 

Radiotime Navigation from Web and SB is poor (e.g. why not an "ALL"
option for countries otherwise you spend time to can drill down to
"Teeside" and find nothing!) as there is no Search and organisation 
does not help.

As an indication. From the Radiotime web interface - there are no
entries in radiotime for Liverpool or Manchester. There is no slot for
Birmingham yet there are slots for South Georgia and the Sandwich
Islands.

RadioTime is not a quality service and Squeezebox needs a good radio
directory which enables user feedback for addition and corrections as
the other media streams are doing so as with reciva and RokuRadio.
