Dab and media streaming

Are there any Dab radios that have a network media streaming facility?
I know some of the internet radios do but is there a Dab one that can do it?
I want one for the kitchen, my other option would be to put a Dab with aux input in and get a sqeezebox or similar.
Cheers for any suggestions

Re: Dab and media streaming

What DAB stations do you listen to? Most are available on the internet, so a Squeezebox + small amp/speakers (or just powered speakers). Or take a look at the Soundbridge internet radio which does internet radio and streaming off your network.

Re: Dab and media streaming

If you have an old PC lying around, the other alternative would be to to pick up a copy of XP SP0 or SP1 and a second hand Wavefinder (does not work with SP2)

Install DabBar http://www.dabbar.co.uk/dabbar.htm on the PC and this will stream the DAB stations across a network.

There is a Wavefinder on eBay UK now going for 12.00 buy it now http://search.ebay.co.uk/wavefinder

If you have an SP0 or Sp1 install disk for XP and an old PC, it a perfect solution. I'm currently running a Wavefinder on a PII with 256Kb ram as a DAB recorder and streamer using the DABBar software.
