Ack - would rec the roberts wm-202 but it has no remote. Also no dock, but there's a aux in - you can get a cable in halfords for less than a fiver.

I'm really liking this, by the way:
http://www.pure.com/products/product.asp?Product=VL-61294 which ticks all your boxes, i think.

I really like the look of the pure, but it's pretty expensive, has no built in dock and some of the reviews give the usability/touch screen/radio a bit of a hammering for the price

do you own one?

No - price was a decider for me on that as well. I would look at getting one mid-next year when the firmware has been updated and the price drops a little. I'm currently considering a second roberts - have one in my study and want one for the kitchen. Maybe santy will be good this year

edit - btw, there's a dock available for the pure (at extra cost tho)

I'm debating sacrificing the wi-fi and going for this

nice - but I'd rather sacrifice the DAB and keep wi-fi I think..

decided to go with this I came to my senses sacrificing wifi would be just silly.

I was going to suggest that, but the price is quite near the pure- maybe £80 or so in the balance? It looks really nice, but it seems to have quite a big footprint?

Good choice, personally I think my DAB radio is waste of space but WIFI is the business indeed.

The price of the pure wasn't a big problem but I didn't want to fork it out and not get everything I wanted and the reviews din't fill me with much confidence

I've an Avanti Flow:

It's pretty amazing the sound quality out of it. Wifi, DAB, iDock and the music streaming is great too.

I think they are starting to appear in stores here too?

What do you lads think of this: http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/1833895/art/aq/revo-iblik-radiostation-d.html#tech-specs

I'm looking for a wifi radio which has an IPOD dock, and this seems to have that as well as DAB.

I need the wifi as I want to listen to non-English language talk radio, specifically French talk radio.

My budget is c. €200.

Thanks

Been very impressed with it so far.

Very easy to use, the sound is fantastic, was setup and listening to streams in 2 or 3 minutes.

Really suprised at how loud it is for the size, the neighbours won't be happy

the lounge could be a bit better but all in all it's a fantastic well built radio.

reccomended
