Not sure of the best group to post to so I'm posting in the satellite
and shortwave radio groups. Over the years I've moved from shortwave
radio to satellite. I couldn't ever afford the big shortwave rigs and
haven't the space to install a good outdoor antenna. Now I'm finding
myself more and more listening to radio over the Internet and less to
my sateliite radio. I have Sirius but also had XM along with it at one
time. I'm considering dropping my subscription and pickup a WiFi
Internet radio. I'd appreciate hearing of anyone's experience with
these radios and recommendations. I haven't followed too closely the
issue over the increase in fees levied against Internet-only stations.
Is this a concern? On the other hand, most of radio stations I listen
to on the computer are normal terresterial ones that I obviously can't
access locally so even if Internet-only radio disappeared I think I'd
be OK. Thanks for any advice anyone can offer.

I don't know whether it's a virtue or a vice in me, but regularly
rereading favorite books has always been one of the quasi-
religious ceremonies with which I occupy my life.
