Good Internet Radio for the $$

User Score: 8.png I bought the Sanyo R227 because of the price and because it has two speakers. I gave my dad the Tangent Internet Radio recently and fell in love with it. The Tangent was $299 recently reduced to $249. I paid $187 with shipping for the Sanyo. I like the Sanyo, only problems are display doesn't give any scrolling track info as the Tangent does. On the four lines, it only displays Station Name, # kbps, Real Enabled(???) and the time. Plus, the sound quality is only decent, not great. I may plug in into a Bose Wave for improvement with that. For the display, perhaps Sanyo can upgrade the Firmware (which has downloadable updates) to include scrolling song track info instead of #kbps, or "real Enabled." Internet radio is awesome and overall I am happy with the unit for the price.

Beautiful little radio!

User Score: 10.png I've had a Sanyo Internet radio for a couple of months and am very pleased with it. At first, the way it works seems clunky, but it's very intuitive and you soon get used to it. I like the sound of a table radio for listening to a mixture of music and talk on foreign radio stations. I can finally listen to radio stations I listened to years ago in Europe without being in the same room as my computer or even having my computer on! Very nice!

Connection over Satellite Internet

User Score: 2.png I've been using Slim Device through Starband Internet satellite. It doesn't work reliably. Has anyone tested the Sanyo R227 over a satellite Internet connection?

firmware, flac

User Score: 6.png I wonder if it's possible to do firmware updates on this unit. I sure wish it supported flac. Seems like a great way to get the audio files on my computer to the home stereo.
