It sure does. I listen to music stations from Poland, S. Korea, Russia, UK, etc... They used to have a quick station search feature right here on the Amazon product description but I don't see it any more. You can get an idea of what stations it can stream by creating a free www.MySqueezeBox.com account, then click on Remote Control &gt; Internet Radio &gt; Search (or select select World and browse that way). This will not play on your computer as this is meant to Remote Control via the web UI your actual player, but will help you see what is out there.

I didn't opt for internet radio (Sirius), but this model does NOT have internet radio built into it, if I am not mistaken. If it does have it built in, you just wire it up like any other component of the system. This does have tuner built into it, but the antenna is connected to my car's antenna (which is an exterior one that stands up all the time). In conclusion, I don't know if you need a tuner plus sirius to work. I suspect that the tuner is going to work as is, unless your car's antenna is broken, but you will have to subscribe to sirius, given this model can support that.

Yes it does support both, though I have yet to try these features out. It comes with its own software for downloading and organizing podcasts and it also supports Audible.

No, it does not require a subscription. I use it with a digital antenna because I live in an area with a lot of digital TV station signals and it works great. It will also work with either cable service or satellite service (sorry for the spelling). I record shows that come on late at night on a couple of oldies TV stations like Perry Mason, The Untouchables, Mission Impossible, Peter Gunn, etc. and watch them during the day. You can program it in one sitting to record 8 future shows and then when you watch one you can then delete it to free up the space if you like. It is a great product. Glad I bought it.

No, you do not need a subscription it uses the free guide provided over the air or through a cable service for the free channel (major networks). However, the free guide is very basic and does not contain complete information like the cable providers guides or TiVo.

The Phorus app supports Internet Radio stations as well as thousands of FM and AM stations around the world. These can be streamed from the app to every room in your house, or to whatever configuration you prefer.

There is a big list of RMF internet stations that you can lisent. You just have to search "RMF" in the panel, but you need a good internet connection because it looks takes a lot of ressource. FM yes if there is an internet version of the radio but there is not specific FM tunning. I dont understand "not a service station".

It requires Sirius satellite antenna if you want satellite radio that you pay for. Free radio requires a regular antenna, or you can upload music to the internal hard drive.

There is no fee to download from the Radio Reference, the only way that you will have to pay is if you become a premium member.

I really don't know - so far I've only programmed it to receive stations, i.e. those with actual URLs, not feeds for particular programming. Grace Digital seems to monitor these reviews so perhaps they'll chime in with a definitive answer.

I know that this post is old enough that you've probably already bought it if you were going to, but it does have an FM tuner, and also internet radio. I use the latter of the two a lot and it's where you'll see better quality and a lot more listening options. The only problem with the internet radio is that the receiver does not have the option for wifi, so you'll need to have it plugged into the network via an ethernet cable to use this feature..

The first poster is wrong, it does NOT require a paid subscription.Like others stated you can use a controller like the MiCasa Verde Vera 3 to link it to your home network / internet.

This radio doesn't receive paid services like Sirus. Just AM/FM/Shortwave. Great radio though...incredible reception of weak stations from far away.

I don't know. I use this radio like any other and change stations according to what I want to listen to. No expert on this so hope my answer helps.

You can listen to anything your compatible SiriusXM receiver and subscription allows. This is not a receiver. It is a speaker.
