hard to connect to my network, when i did kept freezing up, would play a station for 15 minutes if you were lucky then turn it self off..had to unplug to get it to restart then had "network connecting" for 15 minutes then displayed an error code 8 digits long with no mention of error codes in the manual, i will be taking it back to the store asap... honestly if your thinking about it DONT save your self the headache, spend a bit more and get one that works.

THis Bush TR2015 Wi-Fi Internet Radio appears to be quite well made, albeit a little lightweight. The user interface is reasonable given the small screen and limited controls, but then you wouldn't really want a monitor ands QWERTY keyobard on a radio anyway.
However, I could not get it to connect to my network. I work in IT an am familiar with networking so I understood what was needed, but could not get it to work. There is quite a lot on the Web about these (I think they are Reciiva) radios, with suggested fixes. I tried a cuple with no joy, but then returned the device and got a refund. I really could not be bothered to faff around with a radio. I just want to connect it up and listen to it, not get into network tweaking etc.
So - can't comment on the sound quality as I never go that far.

We live in France and the ability to listen to the UK stations make's life so much easier. The Bush TR2015 Wi-Fi Internet Radio sound quality is good, and finding stations quite easy. We stick to a few, and the pre sets are fine for us.

Not had this long so I may need to update later. So far so good. Had problems connecting to my network to begin with - It turned out my neighbor also has BT Home Hub so I was in fact trying to connect to HIS network - Oh how I laughed. This was caused by the only real fault which I have found with the unit so far and that is the small display. Bush have used a display similar to the ones found on DAB radios. Unfortunately these displays do not have many characters so there is very little information shown. Once connected everything seemed great. Thousands of channels, all separated into Genre or Location. There is a delay when selecting a channel as it needs to be buffered. This differs on each channel and from what I have seen so far can range from a couple of seconds to over a minute. This is the nature of Internet radio and is not a fault of the radio. Next we tried listening to a few files stored on our PC. This took quite a while to set up. All the radio could find was the BT Home Hub Router (Shown as Thomson - Samba Server). I thought maybe the firewall was stopping access to the PC. But this was not the problem. I checked that file sharing was selected for my music folder, which it was but still no joy. A few searches on the internet turned up a lot of "Computer Experts" who gave lists and lists of settings to change on my PC which of course did nothing but render it useless until the settings were reversed. (I'm sure these people make it up as they go along). Here's what I did in the end (And I'm by no means a computer expert). The BT Home Hub is in a work group called "Bt". No surprise there. But my home network when I set it up was by default named "MSHOME". So I simply reran the network wizard and this time changed the default "MSHOME" setting to "Bt". Problem solved. (Does this now make me a computer expert?). Now the radio shows all my files and plays them brilliantly. Hardly any buffer time and the sound quality is more than good enough for use in the kitchen. Again the only problem is the display which doesn't show a lot of information. The track playing is displayed although it is only the first few characters and then this scrolls across after quite a long wait. I think continuous scrolling would maybe have made things better. and also if the Artists name were shown. So other than the display and the connection problems (which were no fault of the radio) I would recommend this radio to anyone. Good job Bush.

The Bush TR2015 Wi-Fi Internet Radio looks like a radio, except that it gets the sound from the Internet via the broadband connection, so you get hundreds of channels from all around the world.
This model is good, except I dropped it the day after I bought it, and it would not work, so it might be a little fragile, unless it was just unlucky. Of course, I got it replaced without issue and the second one has been running for months. I use it with the D-Link "N" router (see my review on that one) and the signal is consistent, no drop off, even when doors are closed in between. Only trouble: you need a power socket nearby, so it's not portable!!!
