@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Die meisten Hersteller von Internetradios (Sony, Denon, Marantz, …) binden einen externen Dienstleister (vTuner) fest(!) in ihre Geräte ein, damit die Nutzer sich durch eine große große Liste von weltweiten Internetradio-Stationen hören können.
Nun hat vTuner seit ca. 2020 sein Geschäftsmodell geändert. Man darf da nun für jedes Gerät (MAC-Adresse) bezahlen. Die Kosten steigen auch von $3 auf $7 pro Jahr. Die Hersteller zucken einfach mit den Schultern. Im schlimmsten Fall schaltet vTuner einfach die Domain ab und dann steht man da - wie bei mir: http://sagem.vtuner.com
