    Default New HiFi

    Hi Guys,

    I am in the market for a new hifi, but want a couple of things included.

    I want a USB or IPod dock.

    HDD

    but I need to have internet radio, i like to listen to UK radio and i live in spain so this is essential.

    I have done a search on the internet and can find docks and Hifi but not really one with all three.

    hope someone has one or can advise where to look.

    many thanks

    Mark

    Purchased this last month great piece of kit and it has a ipod dock also wifi you can throw any file at it and it plays it no probs, i know its a home cinema but the sound is really good
    It also has a usb port samsung apps ie bbc iplayer im sure there is internet radio aswell.




    The ultimate way to enjoy movies is through Blu-ray and Samsung's Blu-ray home theater systems combine stunning picture quality with intense high definition sound. For those with limited space the HT-BD1220 is perfect with only 2.1 channels. Saving space doesn't mean compromising on performance as the HT-BD1220 still pumps 500W of power, and also includes BD Live profile, wireless LAN capabilities with PC streaming feature as well as an iPod cradle.
    I STINK GET OVER IT !

    I've got an onkyo receiver (and kefs), but I haven't got the ipod dock for it. The streaming works well for both internet radio and anything stored on the lan. Depends on how much you want to spend though as they aren't cheap.

    Get a Denon S302 had mine 18 months and can't fault it. No HD but you can plug one in through the usb. You can buy an ipod dock for it and best of all using the wifi or rj45 you can get internet radio or stream all your mp3's from your PC or laptop using twonkymedia manager. Google for reviews , sound quality on par with an entry level cyrus system and looks the biz.

    PS don't pay 1800 from denon you can pick up an ex demo on ebay for around 350 boxed.

    Sorry for the confusion , the Denon has Internet radio built in, just connect to your router and go.
