I think you want to have a word with this guy: |

I'm unclear what the tuner gives you that you can't get with a PCI |
| 14 |
tuner card in a Gentoo box, MediaTomb and some work. The video shows |
| 15 |
streaming of Internet radio. |

As I understand the purpose of a conventional hi-fi tuner, it's to |
| 18 |
receive over-the-air conventional radio, and it seems to be this |
| 19 |
streaming of Internet radio that is an extra feature of this |
| 20 |
advertised tuner (although I only glanced at the Yamaha's |
| 21 |
specification, as I'm not qualified to understand it). |

However with a tuner card one could additionally receive digital radio |
| 24 |
via DVB-T or DVB-S. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
All this could be managed via web-interface on a DIY Gentoo box. |

Alternatively Silverstone offer computer cases with big dials & |
| 28 |
buttons on the front. |
