Guest naittaw Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 The cost of getting onto the internet to listen to Radio when abroad is a bit steep is it not ? Yes, radio is available via satellite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clive Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Its also available on long or medium wave with a half decent HF radio and a bit of wire slung up a tree! Totally non digital and no ongoing cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigfoot Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Some European cities have the World Service available on FM. For example when I was in the Czech it was available in Prague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mel E Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 If you can get satellite TV then you can get all the radio channels that are also broadcast by satellite. The only problem is that the TV has to be switched on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Norma Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Trouble is you can't get The Archers on the World Service! To avoid flattening the battery by using the TV to listen to the raido look for a 'Belkin FM Tunecaster' (on ebay). You plug this transmitter into 'audio out' of the satellite receiver via phono to mini jack socket. (Maplins). Then you can tune your vehicle radio to receive the signal. The Tunecaster also works with MP3 players, CD players etc. With this wonderful gizmo I can sit outside with my walkman radio and a glass of wine and listen to the Archers to my hearts content.
