So many questions. It ought to be easier than this.


If you happened to get your broadband down NTL's cable (or Telewest I
believe), they add quite a lot of FM radio to the feed in most regions. You
can tee-in and wire to a radio, hit seek and find all sorts. 5live in stereo
is just the job for me. If you subscribe to a basic NTL TV package there are
all the radio stations available as channels, but this does not strike me as
very user friendly.


Nice idea but NTL's cable stops about 15 metres short of this house and
they refuse to connect us... so BT ADSL it is. The Internet radio is
pretty good but I'd prefer a dedicated receiver.
