Re: Digital receiver with AT-type capabilities

Integra have their NetTune system in their higher end receivers.  It's
somewhat lacking in the usability stakes however.  The selection of net
radio stations is very poor, and cannot be customised.  Windows server
software is required, and even then navigation of MP3s is horrific.
  Still - it's fixable in software.  Hopefully Integra will see how much
better other implimentations are, and take that as a cue to fix up their own
firmware.
