    Im looking for an Internet Radio for my folks for xmas.

    They have always used a bog standard FM Radio in the home from year dot, but the reception seems to be getting worse.

    I would be looking for something that would be quite simple to use, give them access to Internet radio and possibly an FM tuner (for back up if/when Internet goes down). iPod docking not required. Wifi instead of wired also!
    Budget is 100 euro. Ive looked at the logitech and some of the Roberts options, but any suggestions are welcome.

    I got a roberts DAB radio last year but DAB signal very patchy so just using it on fm. I avoided internet radio as it relies on wifi signal which is variable around my house. So advice is make sure radio has good FM quality anything else picked up is a bonus...
