I want to buy not to mention the cost of a portable radio capable of receiving BBC Radio 1, 2, 3, and 4 I live in north-west Italy Augusto Odell As you will appreciate, the BBC broadcasts its stations national radio in the UK in the UK you will not be able to receive these stations when they are broadcast on AM, FM or DAB, because you will not be able to capture a viable signal .
However, there are other ways to listen to radio stations, such as satellite or cable or Internet, you can sometimes even find a local repeater For example, if you lived in Rome, you can apparently get satellite BBC World Service feed rebroadcast on FM Radio Citta Futura in short, the stations you can receive depends a lot on where you are, and the equipment you have.
The BBC broadcasts the international station, BBC World Service via Eutelsat Hot Bird satellite at 13 East, but not its national stations in the UK These are broadcast free to air ie, unencrypted via a 2D satellite Astra February 28 east this signal is centered as closely as possible on the British Isles, but you can pick it out of the area if you use a dish mounted on the roof large enough.
In the Astra 2D forum, someone Vicenza says he can get the full: reception 24 7 all BBC channels, including BBC1-4, BBC1 HD and CBBC Cbeebees using a dish using an offset 125cm x 130cm 120 a 90cm dish was insufficient, however, if you want the radio rather than television signals, I expect a 90cm dish to do the job.
If you decide to take this route, you should consult a local expert satellite installer Someone who responds to British families living in the north of Italy should know what mandatory and has already implemented several similar systems.
Once you have a signal, you can use an FM transmitter at home to rebroadcast around the house This will allow you to listen to stations from the BBC using your portable radio People often use these small FM short-range transmitters for these broadcast playlists of MP3 players, or maybe their CD players rather foolishly, they're even used to convert DAB FM inside cars, which rarely have the audio quality of DAB radios can be very variable.
I suspect that Internet radio is your best option, as long as you reasonably fast broadband and no limit on the amount of data you can download.
There are many Internet radio and wireless companies like Logitech Pure Revo Roberts and I Logitech Squeezebox Radio revised periodically by it two years ago.
When you pass one of these portable on, he will find wireless LANs and invites you to connect to your home network, like any other appliance Once connected, it will be able to play thousands of Internet radio stations, including the BBC's 10 or so national stations and 40 local stations.
WiFi radios that include a media player can also play audio files stored on your PC course, Wi-Fi radio can operate without PC or without PC turned on so I do not expect many people have access to high speed Internet the Wi-Fi networks unless you have a PC as well.
Spend time setting up your Wi-Fi radio by finding the stations you want and assign them to the preset buttons Intermediate supplier as Logitech or Pure be grouped BBC stations in a section, but it is still painful if you must find stations from scratch every time.
Many Internet stations now offer major good quality audio should be much better than DAB off dates stations used in the UK, and perhaps better than DAB in Italy According to the list of stations in the UK radio 1 2 and 4 are available at 128kbps in both AAC and WMA Windows Media Audio formats with Radio 3 to 192kbps WMA and AAC 320kbps AAC is better listening to a 128kbps station will consume about 55MB per hour, so you can easily use 2 GB per week.
You can also listen to Internet radio stations using a PC or a laptop instead of a portable radio is definitely worth exploring the field with a PC before starting to buy things that you can listen to the main BBC radio stations or via the BBC iPlayer radio This page also provides listening options again.
Another alternative is the UK Radioplayer which offers both BBC and commercial stations Radioplayer is a non-profit corporation founded by the BBC, Radio Global Guardian Media Group, Absolute Radio and RadioCentre to serve the radio and its audience by making the easy listening.
Some online media services using geolocation, depending on your IP address, to limit the offers in different countries, so as not everything will work where you, the quality of water courses online can vary the BBC seems to adopt a fairly relaxed attitude on the radio, but some things such as live sports broadcasts can be blocked due to rights issues.
The BBC is currently working to make the iPlayer, including television and catching the facilities available in other countries, including Italy, the European version of the iPlayer June 99 cost per month, which is less than the fee in the UK However, it is an Apple iPad app, you'd be much better with a Wi-Fi radio.
