The BBC issue - is this due to a lack of Realaudio support? Some BBC live streams are also availabe in Windows Audio, but to get all the live streams and all the "listen again" content (surely the biggest and best reason to have an internet radio by your bedside?) you need (unfortunately) a "Real" sticker slapped on the facia. The Podcasts are in MP3, so I guess that is why it can play those.

It's worth noting that this doesn't appear to support Real Audio streaming which still appears to be the BBC's preferred audio streaming protocol - although many of the Beebs streams are available in other formats they tend to be less reliable and more restricted (e.g. not accessible abroad) than RA. The Reciva-based Internet Radios tend to do this better as they do support RA. Also the NOXON website is appalling compared to the Reciva website - as far as I can see you have to use a way too slow overloaded Google Maps-based interface to find stations.

So despite a raft of features and a potentially successful recipe, Terratec's iRadio for iPod ultimately disappoints. It looks good, is easy to set up and is pretty easy to use too. But a few small things - the lack of BBC stations, the high price and average sound quality - end up ruining the taste.
