My mother is in her 70s and spends a good part of the day listening to music. She is also a musician; she was back playing the organ for her church a couple months after knee replacement surgery.
The local NPR station (WETS-FM) used to broadcast classical music in the mornings and Americana in the afternoons, but switched over to talk and news only on weekdays. Then they added HD broadcasting, and put classical music on the HD-3 channel and Americana on the HD-2 channel. They are the only HD radio station in the market, and also make the extra HD channels available to stream online (http://www.etsu.edu/wets/programming/listen.aspx)
Mom still has a component stereo system in the living room, with Onkyo receiver and CD changer (same generation so they share a remote), Dual turntable and JBL speakers. She also has two WiFi routers running right now (1.5 Mbps DSL service) but no smart phone. On top of that, she is looking to move out of the four bedroom split level house (where she has lived since 1977) into a smaller space on one level.
She wants to be able to listen to WETS HD-3 on her stereo system. The options I've looked at are an HD radio tuner (slim pickings and limited utility with only one local HD station) or some sort of audio streaming box (probably more complicated and perhaps throttled by the DSL speed). Any suggestions?
