got the 83i as well, happy with it apart from podcast listening as you cant fast forward/rewind and the display cant always display the entire podcast name. Apart from those slight niggles its really great.

The best internet radio I have come across is this one from Kogan:
http://www.kogan.com.au/shop/kogan-w...docking-delux/
You can sometimes get it from eBay for about £100.

Good points:
Excellent reception compared with other radios.
Supports DAB+ and AAC+ internet streams.
Great sound with its stereo speakers, tweeter and subwoofer.
Nice, bright display.
Fast loading.. excellent for channel surfing.
Has a remote control with *one-press* presets for all radio modes (10 each).
They used to sell in their Kogan UK shop for around £120. Ridiculously good value for money.

John Lewis also seem to have a rebadged version for £150:

I don't know if all the features are the same, though.

As for the OXX, I've read elsewhere it doesn't even handle the common m3u playlist files

As far as I can see the spec on the site you link to doesn't mention AAC+. Have you tested it with AAC+ streams or AAC music files?

Yes, I use it to listen to AAC+ stations on internet radio.
This includes the Bauer and Global streams as well as Sky.FM.

You can turn that down/off. It's in the settings somewhere. Without looking I can't remember exactly how to do it, but you definitely can,
