Internet Radio Annoyances

Now I think that internet radio is the best thing since sliced bread. As a former shortwave radio listener, I loved listening to far-away places and hearing news, current events, and music.

I thought that internet radio might be the next big thing. But, of course, the lawyers are ruining it. I tuned in, hoping to hear WCBS-880 in New York, just as I had last week. I instead heard a cheesy announcer say that because of suits filled with lawyers, CBS, AOL, and Yahoo! were no longer streaming outside the United States, and would I like to tune to Lost.fm?

No.

No, I wouldn’t.

Now, I have a VPN account from the US which, I trust, will allow this. However, I can only use it from a computer, not the internet radio.

I think I asked this before, but is there any way to get my router to log in to the VPN servers so that my internet radio can get those radio stations? The answer I got before was a bit too technical, I think. I have an O2 router but I’m not averse to buying other gear.

Help!
