Pat, I hate to say it, but the same old crap that is all over the 
Am dial is also available on the Stream via Ootunes, it's just 
that you have a lot more alternatives than that, thank God! One 
favorite that looked very intriguing was one that said something 
about space weather, meteor bursts, etc.  sounds like monitoring 
some HF frequency but that's all it seems to be, nothing more, no 
announcements, no voices, either human or alien far as I can 
tell, not even any announcements about impending Full Moon dates,  
smile.  Jim WA6EKS

Thanks Jim.  I felt guilty and lazy after I asked you so I read 
on a
bit further in the manual and found it!!  I can certainly see 
this
device replacing my bedside radio for those nights when sleep 
doesn't
come or stay.  A M radio is just a bunch of crap any more and 
this
seems to have a whole lot of possibilities.
Looks like this old dog has learned a new trick!
Thanks.

Pat, soon as you find something you like, just tap the bookmark,
upper right key and it will quiry you, add to favorites? You just
press the confirm or the play button, either one seems to work.
To delete a favorite do just like you would delete a book by
using the three key then the confirm, lower right key on the
keypad to delete the favorite.  73, Jim WA6EKS

I've missed it Jim - how do you save favorites?  And I've even
read
the manual, but not as much or as far as I should!

Scott, the Stream is using something or service called Oo-tunes
which I think can be accessed on the IPhone as well, but have no
idea how to find it.  The stations available on oo-tunes are
searchable by name, Genres provided either by Oo-tunes or
Humanware, then you can also build a favorites file when you find
something interesting.  73, Jim WA6EKS

   Hi Scott, no can't send anything because the favorites are
stored=20
   onboard the Stream in some internal memory location, unlike
the=20
   PlexTalk.  If you are using the new Stream, then just use
the=20
   search by name feature on the internet radio location of 
the=20
   stream and enter 14.300 or just 14.3 and that should work

   ,
   Downloaded and installed the software.  My first ever
experience=20
   with
   Internet radio.  Pretty fascinating stuff!  Guess an old dog
can
   learn new tricks!
   And it's not even full moon!!

   Hi Russ, well, I think it's great too.  I have used the
Plextalk
   for internet radio but the only way I have been able to do
so=20
   was
   to load URL's on the card.  I wish there was a way of sharing
   favorites that are  on the VR Stream.  I have around 68=20
   favorites
   so far.  Would also like to put some that are on the plextalk
on
   the Stream.  Maybe it can be done using the Companion Reader
   software but I haven't downloaded that yet.  Have you tried 
it?

   water!

   Just as an aside since you mentioned the Victor Stream,  I 
have
   been using the latest software  upgrade for the Victor
Stream=20
   II,
   which now allows you to receive internet rajio.  I'm sure it's
   nothing new to all of you I-phone users but it really enhances
   the capabilities of the Stream which also allows 
downloading=20
   your
   favorite papers from NFB newsline, bookshare, and you can also
   look up stuff on Wicapedia and retrieve definitions on
   Wictionary.  Jim WA6EKS
