Just thought I'd mention this to anyone homesick for Colombia.
Get an Logik IR100 (£40 frrom PC World in the UK) - it needs a wireless internet connection and tune into thousands of radio stations around the world including Caracol etc.

Caracol has most of their various stations available at caracol.com.co. A quick google search will find lots of others. I've been compiling a list of bookmarks, but it's at home. I'll post them tonight if I get a chance. Yo me como los mocos debajo de la ruana pa que no me pidan. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Mononoke28 says on Apr 7, 2008, 10:28: I'd love to listen to these on my stereo withoug having to bring down the computer speakers and going back up to reload the page when it shuts down. Not only that but I would love to see some kind of internet radio that I can install in my car and get all kinds of Colombian stations. Diana 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Sam Salmon says on Apr 7, 2008, 12:13: "I hooked mine up to my amp using a digital optical cable and to my HDTV using the VGA port. Most TVs don't have one, but many do support DVI which is common on video cards. Amazingly enough, my relatively old GeForce video card autosensed the TVs resolution through the VGA port and displays in full 1080i. ' a la orden!' 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

These are not esoteric terms, but instead some that would be known to anyone with a cursory knowledge of home electronics.

cedritos says on Apr 9, 2008, 06:48: The IR100 is pretty good for £40 - it got a good review from What HiFi and I'm pleased with it. Revo, Tangent, Roberts and even BT also do them but they're a fair bit more expensive. I could connect the Mac to my HiFi downstairs but I liked the idea of having a portable radio that could be put anywhere in the house. Internet radio in the car would be fantastic but rural Scotland has yet to see a wide WiFi network!
