5.0 out of 5 stars What a COOL product, February 25, 2009
I just bought this for my wife and have played with it most of the evening. If you've ever thought of owning something like this, and have the extra cash, go for it. If you have a solid WiFi and Cable/DSL service, and still love to listen to radio or even streaming our playlist from your hard drive, pick this up. The Grace product is okay, but this one rocks. There's always going to be some little issues or glitches with a product like this, because of the signal. Every once in a while it drops out, but repicks the signal right back up again. I have it 30 feet away from our network. We have 2 laptops, two XBox 360s and two regular desktops on the one WiFi router and its only dropped once this evening and traffic is always heavy with my boys online. My wife loves it and so do it. The quality of the sound is amazing. Even streaming at 32K on something like Air America or NPR, is solid sounding. I searched for The Gong over in German and found it, and it came through very strongly and sounding great. Its MP3 streaming functions from the computer are awesome. Just share out a folder or two on your hard drive where you have music and it reads the list and pulls the tags in for the songs. And if that isn't enough...this baby even does the dishes. Just kidding. :) Its one hell of a product. I'll tune back in, over a couple of months and give an update or two...but this is well worth the coin if you would like the power of the internet radio throughout tht house. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great wifi receiver!, April 24, 2009
The Sanyo R227 is a great little entry in the current lineup of internet
radios. The unit has an attractive brushed aluminum front and produces
rich, premium sound from the twin side-mounted speakers. Before buying,
I compared the Sanyo to the Grace and C Crane radios. The Sanyo offers
more than either in this price range. The unit has a sleep timer (15/30/60/90 min.)not mentioned in the Amazon specs. The R227 was easy to set up and connected to my network within minutes. The control panel is intuitive and easy to navigate. The unit was also able to connect by Wifi when moved to an another room about forty feet away when tested.
The radio is compact enough for a night stand but has the weight and
feel of a quality made audio component. I highly recommend the R227.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Little Radio, April 15, 2009
I bought this Sanyo R227 WiFi internet radio via Amazon.com in early March 2009 to listen to BBC Radio 2 in USA. It all works really well. Especially pleased with the Reciva.com list of radio stations. Also, the Radio 2 'on demand' service for previously broadcast shows is very good. Sound quality is good; so too are the display graphics.
The only negative point I can find is that having selected Location, then a Country, then a radio station..... the radio (or is it Reciva?) often decides at this point to update the list of available stations and starts all over again with the Initialize/Connect/Gateway functions.... a delay of only a couple of minutes but a little annoying. There might be something in the Configure function where I could delay station updates to 'when requested'.
Despite, this one negative point, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this excellent product. Well done Sanyo!
