Good Points: Initially easy to set up and integrate with existing WiFi network - although the printed instructions are less than helpful! Pleasing appearance, clear display.
Bad Points: Unbelievably, still cannot play DRM protected music on your system (i.e. any tunes you've downloaded over the years). This is, frankly, absurd and renders at least half the unit's purpose completely redundant!Erm...mono speaker output. What is this? The sixties?
General comments: A cheap and cheerful unit for the internet radio beginner, but crippled by its inability to play DRM encoded files, even though Windows Media Player 11 now permits such media sharing! I suspect this is an obsolete model and will be shortly withdrawn from sale!

Works very well - lots of stations - easy to set up. no sound adjustment possible on the radio - but as you us it with the stereo, you can adjust there. I would always buy it again.

The design anyway should have included a chip which memorises the WEP and other settings when mains supply is switched off .Even when it could stay on the router it had to be reset everytime it was moved around the flat .Poor quality electronic design and user interface. Why do these radios also have to be so big and clumsy why not battery powered like small DAB portables?

I've been wanting a Logik IR100 Internet Radio for ages and when I saw one for £39.99 I couldn't resist it. The price has certainly dropped recently, perhaps there's a new model coming along?
From getting the device out the box to listening to music was literally 5 minutes but then I know what I'm doing with wireless kit. Should be easy enough for just about anyone to set up, and if you get stuck there's loads of help on the internet.
Only trouble I've had with it so far is the main inp ...

Over all great piece of kit - prices are coming down, in some ways better than having a DAB. Great sound, nice big switches, a real fun piece of kit, clear sound - a bit fiddly to set up if you aren't sure what you are doing - and of course if the streaming goes down!There is a very slight mains hum but nothing to audible

I love this device. Took a bit of a punt but do not regret it. A bit of a fiddle to set up but mainly trial and error, and definitely worth the effort.I have a reasonably large music collection and the upnp server method is by far the easiest way to stream music - just edit the settings in media player 11 on the pc, adjust the firewall settings and off you go!

If you want to listen to Internet radio for for a very affordable price then this is the device for you. I had this up and running within 20 minutes of getting out the box. The web site for customization of channels simply fies choice of stations.

Easy to setup*, loads of radio stations - always being updated - plus the ability to stream audio from a PC. It has a basic alarm clock feature (1 alarm) plus a sleep timer. Oh, and there's no need to set the time - this unit does it automatically via the internet
If you sign up to the Reciva website (free of charge) then once you have registered your radio, you can add radio stations to your "favourites" list, and this list automatically will appear on your radio.
But the best bit is - it's ...

I really liked this device. It did everything and more that I would expect, even playing MP3 on my network machine(s). I have the radio downstairs at the opposite end of the house to my ADSL wireless Router and no connection problems (but see later). I guess I would have preferred a better preference selection of favorites like Pandora and that is a major issue in having to use Receive with no other option as far as I can tell.
It has now 'broken' with a 'no network device' If you get this, it ...

I have an Orange Livebox and had to go online and query Google to get the radio to connect to my Livebox. Once I had the information (put the Livebox into discovery mode by pressing button marked 1 on side of box) then it burst into life. Have read some comments that wi-fi on the radio is weak but not in my case. It seems the price that you can buy this radio at varies considerably - shop around - I have read that some have paid as little as £40!

I could not believe just how easy it was to get this thing working - I'd been prepared for a few hours of fiddling with settings, but 20 mins after plugging it in for the first time, everything was up and running. The range of stations available "out of the box" is pretty impressive, too.
On the downside, I was rather disappointed that it doesn't pick up the wifi signal unless very close to the router - it struggles in places where the laptop has no problems at all.

This is a real break through with internet radio technology, especially when you do not need to turn on your computer to operate this radio. It would be better if it had connection sockets to a hifi, although the mini stereo jack can do this job very well if required?. Logik do another model that connects to your hifi only but it would be better to combine both these features on one. Generally a good bit of kit and gives a new outlook on the idea of local radio,as anywhere in the world is just ...

Oh dear! Am I the only one that can't get this thing to work? I have tried everything, even taking all security setting of my Belkin N1, because it doesn't recognise my security passwords or different settings. It did connect to my wireless network but then, after updating the firmware, I had trouble with "DNS Server Timeout" and "Gateway Failure". It also took ages to do a Station Update From Reciva. Besides that the first one I bought started getting an annoying buzzing sound in the speaker af ...

I like my Logik. I paid £40 for it. I would have bought one sooner but I was not prepared to pay £100 for it.I recommend logging in to Reciva's website and customizing your channels. It makes it easier to browse through the channels that you like. This information is then updated onto your radio and listed under My Stuff.The design is a bit basic. My is used in the bedroom and I just love listening to stories as I drift off to sleep.
