Caveat: I purchased a GDI-IR1000, essentially a GDI-IR2000 without a remote control (and a GDI-IR3000 after) primarily to listen to a handful of Sirius talk channels without turning on a stereo system. DirecTV provides all the XM music channels, and I have a minimum of use for the 15,000 internet stations the Grace radio successfully receives. I ultimately purchased a Logitech Squeezebox Boom, which works perfectly with Sirius with better sound, albeit at a much higher price.
I've tried two Grace internet radios, and both have the same problem... Sirius really doesn't work (after weeks of interactions with Grace support).
The problem appears to be that the Sirius stream doesn't come directly from Sirius (as the Stiletto and PC streams do), but from a third party named Reciva.
The problems? When you turn on the radio already set to a Sirius channel, more often than not it reports "Unable to play", although pressing a preset button for the same Sirius channel immediately connects.
And then, after it connects, it frequently stops with "Stream ended", although, again pressing the preset button immediately connects and plays.
Grace claimed this was a unique problem, and wanted me to try another radio, and I did, with exactly the same results (this time directly connected via Ethernet, instead of WiFi). But the Grace and Reciva websites now have multiple reports of the "Stream ended" problem.
Grace support, while professional and responsive, seems unable to resolve Reciva/Grace issues.
If Grace can work out the problems with Reciva/Sirius behind the scenes, or with a radio firmware update, this will be a good product. Until then, if you're planning to buy this to receive Sirius (which requires paying Sirius for 'CD quality' streaming), think again.

This has to go on one of the best buys I have ever made. I actually have 13000 radio stations to choose from. I don't have time to get close to trying out this many stations but I have tried hundreds. I have found Irish music from ireland, comedy 24/7 with the old comics. Polka music, lots of news, fishing reports, it is endless. I have lost sleep listening to radio stations around the world. Awsome technology, they never has this when I was a kid. Thanks !

After reading the reviews here I went ahead and bought this radio. I was impressed by the feature set, but really all I wanted was a radio
that could connect to a upnp share.
The good - setup was very easy, no issues there.
However, I've since returned it for a couple of reasons.
First, the sound wasn't that great, listening to classical music was filled with pops and snaps (that i don't get over other devices).
Second, the unit has a pretty cheap feel to it, the buttons are very loose feeling and the UI is lacking (it makes navigating through a large library pretty tough. And the remote wasn't particularly responsive.
Finally (just a personal issue i had with it but maybe it will help someone else) there is no snooze bar, so it couldn't replace my existing clock-radio, which was what I was hoping to do.
So based on the first 2 problems and the cost of the unit, I decided I didn't want to live with the 3rd issue.

This radio has good sound and as far as table radios go it works okay if you keep it on one station in the living room or den. The mono sound is actually surprisingly good (depth, clarity). As a previous poster mentioned though there is not enough weight to the unit to secure it to the table when you push the buttons, which are pretty cheap. Push a button, the radio moves, making this a two-handed operation unless you purposely try to be extra gentle, and kind of annoying if you wish to quickly jump to a different station. It was easy to setup, although "booting" up when you first turn it on can take a minute or so. Saving stations is also easy, although some of the talk shows I connect with tend to drop their connection to buffer, something that rarely happens when I'm listening hardwired on the computer. I give it three stars because it fails in the "tactile" and other user-interface refinements that good broadcast radios boast (Kloss, Boston Acoustics, Cambridge Audio, etc.). This needs a lot of refinement.
I know, this is not advertised as a clock radio, because if it was I would give it one star. The big dissapointment for me is that it does not do something that typically table radios offer: if there is an alarm clock function you would expect it to be easy to operate in the dark; with the alarm and snooze function buried in the digital menu, you have to not only use two hands you have to look at it and scroll. Then there is the glaring light...the light that you cannot turn off (as far as I can tell) if the radio is turned off. When the radio is on you can set it up so that the light goes out after a few seconds, and it goes on again if you touch one of the controls, and then goes off again. Fairly common for radios. However, when you turn off the radio in the dark the light turns on and stays on...I end up unplugging it.

Got this as a gift and thought it would be ho hum, but boy was I wrong.
Set up was a snap and in addition to finding stations from around the world it lets you search by genre.
I clicked on jazz and found thousands of jazz stations. Also I am a Pandora junkie and was suprised to see I can link to to my Pandora stuff off this radio too. What a nice suprise this radio is, highly recomend.
