nascent Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The 1000 can do TuneIn too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccray Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I viewed the Extra Vegetables video of the sonos integration. Crap... I think I'm going to have to go that direction- my wife can use that easily.I love the lower cost of the grace tuner (was on my list for a while) but Sonos is a much larger market and I suspect it will be lower likelihood of having any problems simply due to install volume. I also suspect it'll be maintained and upgraded with the service. Buy once cry once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm pretty pumped about TuneIn personally, as I work from my home office and listen to a lot of sports radio....will be nice to listen via my home speakers and not crappy computer speakers.

Cyknight Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 We don't know for sure yet - the 2.4 release notes will specify. 2.4 isn't even in beta yet from what I hear.Go with this for now. No reports yet what exact requirements will be for TuneIn. Likely it'll work on any controller that can take the 2.4 update, but nothing's certain yet.

chesterwilson Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 From what I understand the added benefit of this over an airport express is the following:1. Metadata2. DLNA3. Bluetooth supportIs there anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Control4 have actually confirmed that both the Media Streamer and TuneIn utilises driverworks for their driver with a brand spanking new proxy. What this means (speculatively) is that developers can make drivers with a keyboard based search interface and drivers that interact directly to the audio output. From what i've heard the documentation for the API's will not be out until after 2.4 unfortunately. Still very exciting stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for now I'll just stick with requirements unknown beyond being built into the software, no external hardware required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it isn't really debatable...they own over 800 radio stations, hundreds of thousands of billboards/taxi boards and I don't remember how many TV stations.

Cyknight Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'll check those channels tomorrow - the new tune-in allows some - alternative methods as well.Debatable - in no small part because it depends on how and what exactly you mean by broadcaster. BBC and ARD are likely larger by a huge margin, and I wouldn't be too sure CCM+E is the largest in the US though some may claim as much. I doubt that however.If you mean largest media company. I believe they where somewhere in the second part of the top 10 list for 2012.But it really doesn't matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyknight Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 KJMY, KNRS, KOSY. Maybe KRSP as well.Of the 4 I can see all, and all seem available. KRSP for sure - I can stream it now, the other three aren't streaming due to me being in a different country - but they should be available to you once this is out.

I hope they do, but I am doubtful. They work for me when I'm in a different country...but that's via iHeartRadio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
