  • I have no Internet. I want to hear the local broadcasts when I am at home.

    At home, I have ~75—100 local broadcast stations which cover local news and events. I also figure that of the thousands of Internet stations, very few would likely be specific to my region. I think only a small fraction of broadcast radio stations have an Internet stream.

    (edit)

    When I am in a cafe or library getting Internet, I use that opportunity to listen to distant stations.

    Note as well that a strong DAB signal is better than any Internet signal. There are many more points of failure with Internet, such as network congestion.

    You do give me an idea though. I have some shell accounts. I could perhaps setup a timed recording of something I want to hear from Internet radio. Then I could fetch it whenever I get online. But I guess a MythRadio would still be useful… something to show me the schedules centrally. I think at the moment we are stuck with going to the website of each station and navigating their UI one station at a time. Fuck that.
