 "Fantastic internet radio" 2010-05-01
By G. Gorton (Netherlands)
The Roberts Stream 202 is a fantastic internet radio. The sound quality is excellent. It's ability to connect to thousands of internet radio stations quickly and simply, plus being able to play podcasts make it the perfect kitchen or bedroom radio.



The only downsides are the styling looks a bit cheap (I purchased the white version which to my mind was an improvement on the other colours) and I missed the ability to scroll through and pause podcasts.



If you want to listen to internet radio (as well as FM and DAB) without any hassle and with fantastic clarity, then this is the perfect choice.

 "Top quality sound but not so good on the bedside table" 2010-04-06
By Alison Wickham
This great radio freed me from the frustration of BBC Radio 4 Longwave. No more jiggling the radio to get clear reception, no more cricket etc. The sound quality is superb and it is wonderful being able to get stations from around the globe at the click of a button. But I'd recommend it for daytime use only.



It is not well designed for the bedside table. The blue light screen is far too bright - I have to wear an eyeshade when I am listening. If the room is in darkness (well it never is properly dark with the radio on) the screen brightness makes it hard to see any control knobs. If you are feeling your way there is not enough differentiation between knobs. The controls are not easy to use if you are in a dozy state. Too long with your finger resting on the button and you loose your settings. Setting the radio to turn off, in say 30 minutes, requires being upright with glasses on and blinking at the bright blue screen as you twist the knob. My ideal bedside radio would be set by touch only - no need to look. It is awkward to plug the earphones in as they are on the back of the radio and hard to locate by feeling. They canot be turned on or off from the front, if your bed mate wants to listen too.



Also it would be handy if it was designed to lie flat with earphones, aerial and instructions accessible, as well as sit upright.



In short, just great technically, but user friendly for bedtime? No! A big disappointment.

 "Roberts WM202" 2010-03-15
By Steve F. (Cotswolds, Oxfordshire. UK)
I purchased this radio to give portable and easy access to internet radio. It achieved it purpose, with the added advantage of DAB radio when I'm away from a Wi-Fi connection. There's a nice solid feel to both the radio itself and its operation. Connecting to my home Wi-Fi was quite straight forward. Once access to the internet was established, the software required updating; this was simple enough, a matter of a few agreement selections and attachment to mains power (just in case the batteries ran out during the update process). Done!



A small point and not really a moan but.... The batteries required are 'D' type and are perhaps the most expensive to buy as normal or rechargeable, I do wonder if 'C' type, more readily available wouldn't have been better. (No doubt some technical issue)



All in all, an excellent radio with a warm and quite pleasing sound. A little expensive, but I think worth it.
