subscription fee? Is there a fee for the Reciva service? I just want to get free internet radio stations, same as are on iTunes, without paying a subscription fee.

rc, Pandora isn't the only way to receive stations on this radio. The poster asked if there is a fee for the Reciva service, and the answer is no. As far as Pandora (if you want to use that), another poster said that the 40-hour limit isn't applied to stand-alone radios like this. I haven't confirmed that, so I don't know if it is true, but like I said, you don't need Pandora to receive the 17,000 stations that are available.

No longer free according to news reports today due to a settlement by Pandora. Reports and quotes from Pandora reps say that those using more than 40 hours in a month will be charged. How much? Only 99 cents per month for this month, but who knows how much in the near future!

There are no fees for the reciva service. You recieve a total of 50,000 internet radio stations, podcasts and on demand content for FREE. Pandora radio for FREE. BBC, NPR, iheartradio for FREE. The only services that have fees are SIRIUS and Live365 if you want them. Otherwise after you buy any Grace Digital Internet radio feature there are NO fees ever!

Jonathan, I'm sure Pandora and LastFM have some advantages, but my point was that rc was saying you can no longer get free Internet radio on the Grace radio, which is simply not true. Also, not everyone gets Internet radio primarily for the music. There is a whole world of news and talk radio from this country and around the world that is fascinating. I would say that if it is important to get exactly the music you want to listen to, an mp3 player is the way to go.

Just to correct one misconception. The iPod is not limited to music purchased at the iTunes store. You mentioned my favorite source, emusic.com which works great with an iPod (or any mp3 player). Unprotected mp3s from any source will work just fine. You are correct in that iPods don't work with subscription services.

NO, there is no monthly fees. This is great unit and I still use it almost every day. But, it basically has the same functionality of a smart phone (Iphone, Android phone), plus a $2-$3 app (e.g tunein) and a speaker (like Ihome or JBL) designed for smart phone. Any stations that you can get on this radio, can be gotten on the smart phone or a tablet with WiFi and then routed to the speaker.

If you not afraid to look at a little html code, you can also get around the Reciva's lack of certain channels from iheart radio by finding streaming media urls within a webpage's code for a particular channel and by then adding that to one of "My Streams" in your Reciva account. After that is uploaded to the radio, you can set a preset to the stream as if it is one of the set radio stations. I was able to get an iheart radio stream on my radio that way.

Dear Galina: I can only guess as to why two of your favorite internet radio stations are missing. But here is my best guess. To make a particular station available that station has to stream (send) their signal up to the satellite. Perhaps for some reason the stations that you seek have stopped streaming. It happens all the time. If the receiva.com web master checks for their signal and finds it is gone thay may remove it from their list of available stations. You might want to check ocationally to see if it has come back on. It may have returned so search for it again. That happens sometimes also. I have also noticed that sometimes stations will return with a different name. I never know why they do these things but I have witnessed such many times. I hope I have been helpful.

The only charge is an annual subscription for the service. Everything else is free. Works really good so far I must say.

Actually there is a way to turn off the ads! You have to pay for a lifetime subscription on a device you already have a free lifetime subscription on! The way they "pay" for the free lifetime is to include ads. If you don't want the ads then you pay something like $65 to re-register the FM receiver as an ad free lifetime service. I don't find the ads all that intrusive to pay another $65.

I live in the US and if you will pay my ticket there and back, I will bring the radio free... Just kidding. Not sure about the fee to ship but, these radios are great. I have the Pure Contour and it is a great radio. This one should also be great. Call your local shipper like UPS and ask about cost involved. If you are in the states, amazon or the vendor should be able to provide that information for you.

Subscription is not included - You'll have to contact Sirius directly and set it up (when you have the radio, the ID number is required). They offer a few different programming options with a few different payment options. Enjoy!

So you can listen to other internet stations? Not just Pandora? Can you get the NPR stations as well? Or do you need to purchase the other Livio player?

Yes. First you must register your radio through Reciva.com and then look for the station you want and add it. The AM or FM station will then be able to be added to your radio.

I do not pay for any subscription, however, you can link it to the Cloud storage for free trial period and then pay for that after the trial period. I do not use the Cloud.
