Via WiFi enabled devices
It is also possible to listen to the radio via the internet without having to log on to a computer. The easiest way to do this is via a wi-fi or internet radio. These radios pick up radio stations streamed on the internet via a wireless broadband connection to the radio set.
If the radio is in range of a wireless connection (also known as wi-fi) then it will automatically detect the network and offer the option to connect. Once this link is established, the radio uploads channel listings alphabetically by country and genre to the radio set. All the BBC's national and local stations are available as are all the programmes on demand on the BBC's own Radio Player.
Any wifi-enabled device is capable of accessing internet radio streams and on demand content in this manner. Devices available include many games consoles plus some PDAs and mobile phones. For information about how to access radio streams through such devices, please refer to the manufacturers’ instructions.
