WorldSpaceRadio on PC?

[blueshift]

I was just surfing through Orkut communities and theres somethinf that read like this:' Download World Space Radio on your PC'
Does this kind of s/w exists i mean how can it be world space radio?
Just need to clarify this.

[go_gamez]

must be a fake ..its not possible otherwise ppl would not spend 3000-4000 and get it..and instead everyone would download it..
the link u must have seen can be recorded programs from WORLD SPACE RADIO STATION...
and if any case what u ve seen is true..then its not legal..

Fake one . I tried tats not worldspace. It's a collection of hindi radio stations round the world . i think 18 stations.

world space radio is a satelite radio. you also need a subscription to listen to it.

[blueshift]

thats what i was thinking! He must be fooling the members.

[go_gamez]

so u got it right..its just a fake..

[rohan]

or may be something like net radio. I mean, a person who has subscribed to WorldSpace radio connects to the satellites and gets it in to his pc thru a Line-in and then uses the Shoutcast DNS or something similar to broadcast this to other users thru net radio. Illegal definitely, but possible.

@rohan:
That may be possible but he would need to keep his PC ON all the time and I don't think he would do tht. He is totally a fraud person.

internet is the best form of radio,u can listen to any radio channel from around the world and that too free,so why do ya need this worldspace thing.

[indian_samosa]

i think worldspace is for the non techie people who dont know or dont want to setup pc's to get wired for radio.
And also not everyone is on a high speed ( atleast 256Kbps) connection.
yes..one can enjoy internet radio on modem speed ..but ur radio station choices will then be limited and there is always some or the other kind of packet losses in dial up conf.

Anyways...have any of u people tried worldspace...how is it ??

does world space have a portable radio like thing??? something which i can take while travelling by bus or car or train and also listen to it at home!!!
or is it necessary to have a antenna facing the satellite???

if they do have a portable one... how much does it cost???
