I own a WM-201, so this is my second Internet radio. It's pretty good and the DAB and Internet radio works great. FM reception is pretty poor, but who cares? Two issues, first the light for the display never goes off, I have not found out yet, but I bet that destroys the battery life, second the Internet service it uses for stations is Frontier, whereas the WM-201 uses Receiva, what a nightmare, who at Roberts decided people like me would need to use two different web sites to store my favorite stations (not that Frontier is poor, just different). Anyway, I bought it as a WiFi Internet radio and for that it is fantastic.

I will keep this short.

If you want a radio that sounds great looks good and is able to play internet radio via a wifi connection or fixed lan, recieve DAB,FM and play your ipod thru and stream music from your pc then just get one of these.

It is a little on the plastic side but honest it does not fail in the sound and ease of use side.

I had mine set up and streaming music from media player in half an hour.

great kit.

I found the radio very good, it takes a little bit of working out how it all works but when you've done that its great. In my area DAB is a total waste of time so the wifi works out well with the FM as back up. the radio is small and easy to take with you with the battery back up, it as a good sound as well. I think having all three WIFI,DAB & FM, is a big plus and if the DAB system in the county ever works as it should all over the U.K. it will be even better. In fact I'm thinking of buying another one as I can't get the first one away from my wife.

I am an expatriate and I bought the radio to capitalise on its WIFI capabilities to capture my favourite UK radio stations both national and local.

The radio has lived up to my expectations and is relatively simple to operate in the WIFI mode. There is no chance to use the DAB and FM as they are not available.

I use the radio at various locations both inside and outside of my residence and my only complaint is that I would prefer to have a rechargeable battery rather than the current mode that requires dry cell batteries.

Easy set-up for internet
easy menu. didn't even look at the instructions to set this up. it's that easy.
nice design
takes an awful lot of batteries but last a long time 6 x d cells. amazing they all fit in there!
pity there's no bass and treble controls, but sound is good and loud too!
fm is quite sensitive
dab is good considering i live in what looks like a black hole at those frequencies.
