 "Great product provided you buy some extra speakers" 2010-01-23
By Nick J (Manchester, UK)
I've had this a while now but have only just realised how good it is. Whilst I had been impressed by it's ease of use and functionality, I had initially been disapointed by the sound quality through it's mono speaker. No longer though - I recently bought a Logitech Z323 2.1 speaker kit (about £50) and connecting through the RCA terminals (rather than the headphone jack) has blown me away. Absolutely superb sound quality with all types of music and all sources that I've tried so far. This is a fantastic product and great value for money.

 "Revo iBlik Radio station DAB WI Fi etc." 2009-12-08
By Luvmycamra (UK)
Bought the refurbished one and the company gave a good service when I had to return the first one. It's an excellent bedside radio. Wanted it mainly as an Ipod dock with DAB and the wifi radio has been a pleasant surprise. Lots of stations listed under genre or country, and where available the podcasts are listed too. Was fairly easy to set it up too.



Only gave it 4 stars as I can't see the time when the ipod is working.



Once you get your head around the menus it's very user friendly.



Little remote is quite good with raised buttons.



Overall very pleased with it.

 "Lots of good ideas but poor thought to sound quality" 2009-11-17
By Mr. Glyn Sloman (UK)
I was really looking forward to getting this radio but I'm quite disappointed with it and will probably avoid Revo products now. It has lots of capabilities and potential but the basics have been forgotten; there is no way to adjust the tone of the sound so you're stuck with whatever is broadcast or streamed, and secondly the volume control is very poor because it only goes up in stages rather than being smooth, and coupled with this there is way too much difference between levels so to get it at exactly the volume level that you want is almost impossible - it might be all right for a kitchen but its use it as an alarm clock which is what I want it for, where volume level is all important, is limited.

 "Revo Radio Station" 2009-11-15
By A. Mendies (Derbyshire, UK)
This product is fantastic and well worth the money. The DAB Reception is very good, The internet radio allows you to listen to radio stations around the world. The FM Radio is very good and picks up well.

The IPOD interface is exceptional and the remote allows you to control your IPOD in many ways. The display is not bright at night to keep you awake and the remote allows you to do everything from the comfort of your bed. The alarms are also well thought out.

The only way this product could improve is to provide a separate large clock on the front display panel, and to improve the sound output slightly as it can distort at higher volume. The option to add a second speaker for stereo output would be nice also, and maybe a tone control.

In short this product is very good, a bit pricey, but worth the cash.

 "Excellent all rounded" 2008-09-23
By James Gray (East Grinstead)
I had been after a DAB radio for sometime but I have been waiting for just the right product to come along (something that'll last 10 years like my last radio!), finally I settled on this Revo Radiostation. I had seen some good reviews and the long features list convinced me that, while expensive, this product would do the trick...



I have now had my Revo Radiostation for about a week now and I am only just getting around to exploring all its features, I think Revo have hit all the right buttons with this product.



So, we have FM radio, DAB+, WiFi (for internet radio, podcasts and network streaming), iPod and MPort mode (for connecting any non-iPod mp3 players via a 3mm headphone size connector), date/ clock, alarms and sleep functions.



All the main features are accessed via a keypad on top of the radio, and despite that long list of features a "back to basics" approach on the menu system means that its easy to navigate and setup. The keypad is a little hard to use from your bed (if you can't look down on the top of the radio directly) but a small remote from which you can access most features helps with this.



Self tuning for FM and DAB picks up a range of stations with zero fuss. The clock and date functions can also be setup form either the DAB signal or internet connection which makes that a breeze also.



Connecting to your WiFi network is a little more complex as entering your network key is a little tricky, but you only need to do this once of course, and the Revo scans and finds the network in no time. Internet radio stations are easy to locate from a list of genres or locations or from the search feature, this is the same if you are looking for podcasts.



Streaming music from your PC is a bit more tricky (especially with Vista) as you need to configure Vista to allow this from your networking control panel - setting your home network to "Private" and allowing "Guest" access is the key.



My criticisms would be, one that the sound is a little weak, the unit itself is small and light, and it fails to really produce a good base range (it does have stereo line-out however so you could route it through any amp + speaker setup that you may have). And two, while it came with 6 or 7 adapters for iPods it didn't include an iPod Touch adapter, so I have to use the white one that came with my iPod so it looks a little odd on this black unit.



However, my main use for this is as a bedside radio so the issue with weak base is not a problem because I use it on a low volume and as a wake up call. The alarms and sleep functions are excellent for this, you can set up to 4 alarms, including "once only", "daily", "weekdays only", "weekends only" tell each alarm how to wake you up - either FM, DAB or with an internet station.



Finally the sleep function allows you to set the radio to turn off after 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes.



All in all, this is an excellent, "future proof" all round radio, for a bedroom it is difficult to fault. It wakes me up, sends me to sleep, charges my iPod, lets me listen to podcasts, any one of 11 thousand radio stations or stream my entire music collection from my PC to my bedside. It's not quite perfect, but very close and therefore still deserves 5 stars...

 "Very dissappointed... shocking aftercare!!!" 2010-05-16
By Mr. A. Holt (Yorkshire UK)
Got one of these radios last year, not long after receiving it, it stopped turning on, after several phone calls to the factory and unanswered emails, I sent it back (At my own cost via registered post). They kept it for a week, and sent it back stating there was nothing wrong... one day later same fault again!!!! Was rudely told by the "aftercare" department that i'd have to send it back again... at my own cost again of £13!!!! It's been in the spareroom, still in the box ever since. The quality of service was absolutely shocking and I'll NEVER BUY THEIR PRODUCTS AGAIN!!! BE WARNED!!!!

 "Simple & Stylish, a must have piece of kit for radio lovers" 2010-05-06
By Stuwert James Patterson (UK)
I use this amazing piece of electronic finery every day.

The built in speaker (obviously mono) isn't going to wow anyone but does the job if you just want a gentle background musical flow going on. I'm using a pair of Logitech Z10 Interactive USB Speakers with the bLik RS.



http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Interactive-Speaker-System-970243-0120/dp/B0020KRSMG/ref=pd_sxp_f_i



In my opinion that's why its so cheap for all the other built-in tech you get but it has the advantage that audio can be outputted via either min-jack (Connector for stereo headphones) or red and black coaxial connectors (for better quality stereo speakers).

The DAB functions do exactly what they say on the tin, and allow me to listen to stations with a clear crisp quality that I could never get from FM.

Connecting it up to the internet via WiFi (The interface is idiot proof) added so much extra value by giving me access to pretty much the entire worlds worth of radio programming and podcasts.

Once upon a time you would have had to have been an old radio ham with all sorts of expensive receiver kit and antenna knowledge to access this much radio content.



A giant thumbs up for a brilliant piece of kit.

By C. Stock
Found this whilst looking for a Dab radio. I thought I'd give it a try because of the price.

The best thing I've done for ages. It does exactly what it says and despite what other reviews state it is easy to set up and work. To be able to hear Dab, Dab+ (when it comes out), FM, Internet radio, music from my computer and from my mp3 player and to have it sound good is truly superb. It even has 4 different alarm settings! Highly recommended.Revo - Blik RadioStation - Hybrid DAB/Internet Radio - Black

 "The future of radio" 2009-12-13
By A. Webb (Isle of Wight, UK)
I went looking for a new radio, having been irritated almost to the point of death by people such as Zoe Ball and Sarah Kennedy being on my existing radio. Changing channel just produced more rubbish, so a change had to come. The Revo Blik RadioStation hybrid was available from several sources, but Hughes Direct on Amazon had the best price by a long way. I placed an order, which was delivered promptly. A small error by me was quickly and courteously dealt with by the company, and I was in business!



The radio itself worked like a dream straight out of the box, finding FM and DAB stations. Setting up the wireless Internet connection took a bit more effort, but was not hard. The only issue was the fiddly method of entering my router's security code. Anyone doing this should remember that the Revo is case sensitive. So it is vital to find the right line of letters/ numerals. Once done, I had thousands of Internet stations at my disposal. Registering on-line, allows users to compile their own favourites, which can then be accessed via the units remote. The remote is my only grip, as it is about the size of a credit card, and has writing on it that I found almost impossible to read without a magnifying glass. Bear it in mind that I am not a spectacle wearer, and have 2-/20 vision. So the only way to use this comfortably, is to memories what controls are where. Operating it in the dark, in a bedroom at night for example, can be a bit tricky. Also, there is no mute button. Quality wise, the Revo is well made, the front panel large and clear, and the sound produced from the built-in speakers is very good. If you use the connections on the back to link it to a proper amp, then the unit really comes to life, sounding fabulous.



In summary, and can recommend this product wholeheartedly, and Hughes Direct as a supplier.
