4.0 out of 5 stars Exceeds my expectations, July 12, 2009

I have had much better luck than the previous reviewer. My unit worked out of the box and has continued to work for about four weeks, with no trouble whatsoever. (I have only used the WiFi internet radio feature so I cannot comment on the other things it can do.)

I would give the unit five stars but for one concern: The Aluratek business model. The tuner depends upon an Aluratek server to set up stations. The good news/bad news is that there is no annual subscription fee.

It appears that Aluratek pays for the server out of cash flow from sales. If sales ever fall off, there goes the server, and there goes the radio. Hopefully somebody will figure out how to hack it before the server goes away.

Internet radio is a great idea. I've listened to streaming radio for years on my computers. I even purchased a Sangean internet table radio from Amazon and enjoy this quality product. The Aluratek AIREC01F WiFi Internet Radio - Home Theater Edition seemed like a perfect addition to my music system. The unit is attractive, has an easy to read display, is easy to set up, and features the ability to add stations from a preloaded station list or stations and streams through v-Tuner internet portal The unit also serves as a media player when used in conjunction with a computer and a router. Connect the Aluratek tuner with an ethernet cable or wifi and you're in business. Or so I thought.
My Aluratek tuner worked for about an hour and then began to add lines of "gibberish" to the list of favorite stations stored in the memory. After two such lines appeared, I attempted to delete them from the station list. The tuner froze. It would no longer "boot" no matter what I tried. So... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Sounds great, User manual could use some work, August 7, 2009

Got my ALURATEK AIREC01F Internet Radio yesterday.
It connects to you existing stereo or home theatre system through an audio input like a tuner. It can also be used with powered multimedia speakers because the output has a volume level control on the remote.

Setup to my secure wireless network was too easy. It only took 5 minutes and I was playing music off the WEB. I did cheat a bit and read the manual first.
It also has a wired LAN port if you don't have wireless.
No problems so far. Audio quality is great.
The user manual could use a little work. It seems to leave out a few basic things that so far I have been able to figure out.
A website is available for help and firmware updates.

You find internet streaming stations using their Internet Portal Server by continent/ country/state/genre or all. If you know the station ID they are listed in alphabetical order. You can then save as a "favorite" station and recall it later. The manual... Read more
