Internet Radio Suggestion - XBMC

#1

Post by johnvic » Wed Jan 28, 2015 12:30 am

I like to listen to Internet Radio. I have an Apple TV but the selections are controlled by Apple from what I can tell. Is there a way to install radio in WMC? Do people use xbmc or VLC?

Thanks!

If I wanted radio I think I would go the hardware route. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... =windows-7 Install the tuner configure WMC and your done with it.

If you wanted to go the software route using XBMC, you would first have to integrate xbmc into WMC, then install a plugin tuner in XBMC. More things to go wrong.

I am just using the Comcast music channels for simulated radio. I fire up my old Pioneer Amp-Tuner when I want the real thing.

Thanks. I tried searching for a network radio tuner, similar to my tv tuner, but couldn't find one. I currently use a hdhomerun dual for OTA TV, but that doesn't support FM reception.
