Listening to Internet radio stations
Internet radio is an audio broadcasting service transmitted via
the Internet. There are a large number of Internet radio
stations broadcasting a variety of services from every corner
of the world. Some are hosted, managed, and broadcast by
private individuals while others are by the corresponding
traditional terrestrial radio stations or radio networks.
Whereas terrestrial, or OTA (over-the-air), radio stations are
geographically restricted on the range of radio waves
broadcast from a transmitter through the air, Internet radio
stations are accessible from anywhere in the world, as long as
there is a connection to the Internet, as services are not
transmitted through the air but are delivered over the World
Wide Web. On this receiver you can select Internet radio
stations by genre as well as by region.
Depending on the Internet line conditions, the sound may not
be smooth when playing Internet radio.
