Kalim_a Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 And what do you mean Kalim when you say you haven't had a radio since you got sky, sky has more radio channels than any other possible source of radio. must be over a hundred of the feckers and some of them are quite good, play them through a stereo and they sound ace. Both XFM and 6Music are there plus a couple of other decent stations. I know mate, but never saw the point of listening to Radio on TV! LOL. Only time I remember doing so was when the Villain radio was there and I was unable to get another source. Anyone know what happened to that channel?

They turned it off so they could .....................blah blah ...............expand the educational side, blah................. Well that was the ellesian line but in reality it was a cost saving device and a way of forcing you to pay to listen to woodwank, hold on while I nail my cock to the table But seriously I know what you mean about listening to the radio through the TV - it seems wrong, and it sounds wrong just through the TV but hook up the audio outputs to a decent amp and it sounds great and you only have to have the TV on to change the channel, you can put it on stanby when you have the channel you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted October 26, 2006 VT Supporter Share Posted October 26, 2006 I subscribe to Sirius Satellite Radio... it's the best $12.95/month I've spent in forever. I'm listening to Gary Dell'Abate get roasted right now on the Stern show. BuzzSaw, NFL Radio, and Sports Play-By-Play 1 are worth the subscription price, Stern show or no Stern show. I have DirecTV, for which I pay $50-plus a month, and I get a lot more overall from Sirius. Truly, the best radio on radio. BABA BOOEY! ^^^^ My radio... it's a couple of years old (doesn't have the replay or artist seek features that the newer ones have, but it works for me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike273 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I would find it difficult to do without my radio. I'm an information hound, I always like to know what is going on wherever I am, and with the radio I can listen even while I'm doing other things at the same time. It's Five Live for sport and news, and Talk Sport whenever I fancy hearing a bit of inane football chatter - TS isn't the station it once was, but in small doses it's pretty enjoyable, especially if you pick and choose your shows well. Radio for music though? Nah. Haven't listened to music radio for any considerable length of time since 1994. Internet radio stations offering the precise genres of music I want are just so much better, and when I'm on the road, my iPod covers that. Podcasting is also becoming a very compelling medium, there are some excellent football ones - including a Villa one shock horror - and it's a great chance for catching up with radio shows you miss - Fighting Talk and Sportsweek in particular.

mjmooney Posted October 27, 2006 VT Supporter Share Posted October 27, 2006 Apart from footie commentaries (5 Live) I rarely listen to radio in the house (sorry, In Da House). In the car I channel-hop between 5 Live, TalkSport, Radio 2, Radio 3 and Classic FM. The missus only listens to Radio 1 in her car and Radio 4 in the house. Maddenly (cross-thread alert), she leaves radios on all over the house, so you can hear R4 wittering in the kitchen and bedroom, even when we're both watching TV in the living room. Pisses me off no end. Now lets have a poll on whether we've all got TVs. Obviously (see above) I have, but actually I'd happily get rid of it. I could go to the pub to watch football, and spend my time at home listening to CDs or reading. Heaven. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wol. Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Am going to buy a DAB radio tomorrow, fall a sleep most nights with a radio on, has anyone got one they would recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soprano Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Radio in car, 1 in the kitchen , 1 in each bedroom. Listen to it a lot through the TV. I really like absolute radio. Channel 915 if your a Virgin media user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted July 10, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2010 Looking at upgrading soon to the Sirius XM MiRGE Was very disappointed when Sirius XM decided to put the World Cup games on XM (and Best of XM on Sirius but my trusty old Calypso doesn't support Best of XM) and it'd be nice having access to every baseball game. But if I went with an XM radio, then I'd lose having home & away broadcasts of [nearly] every NFL game. Thus the MiRGE which allows reception of both services.
