MORE ABOUT INTERNET RADIO:
These day’s, virtually all radio stations broadcast their programmes live over the Internet. Traditionally you have had to use your home PC to listen in, which is not very convenient if you want to listen to the radio in a room that’s different to where you keep your computer! Sovos portable internet radio player is one of a small number of Internet radios available on the market today and it’s also the first in the UK to use a rechargeable battery so you don’t even need to be plugged into the mains to tune in! It works by picking up the wireless Internet signal sent from your wireless router and allows you to listen to radio stations from around the world.
