I brought a couple of digital radios out with me when I came here in the hope of listening to Radio 4. I know I can get the radio on my laptop but would love to be able to listen to the 'Today' programme whilst still snuggled in my bed.

Hi,Where are you based? I've just moved here to Carassai in June and have been working my way through the minefield of bureaucracy with the help of some great people - send me a pm if you think i can help. Good luck!
Just another comment to say nice to hear from you. I've been living in Carassai for nearly 3 months now - next time you're over maybe all those who have answered could meet up/ Or maybe all respondents could meet up before that?
Must be a UK term - a dongle is the USB key you use in a laptop to get the internet - sorry for any confusion!
Sorry - system would not take my post.New to Italy and have bought a new car - huge insurance bill although have 9 years no claims with Sheila's Wheels (female only insurer, owned by esure who are owned by Bank of Scotland). Does anyone know a company who will accept the no claims from Sheila's Wheels - it could halve my insurance bill. Thanks for any help.
Thanks so much for this info. I will get my friendly italian speaking friend to look into this. One major question though - does fastweb support Skype? I do need it to speak to family and friends especially as my daughter has just succumbed to Swine Flu - she does not appreciate me calling her Miss Piggy! How is fastweb set up - dish, cable , what? As you can gather I am a technophobe!
Hi,really interested in your reply as for the second time the Telecom man has not turned up to connect my landline. I am new to Italy, don't speak the language but have a lovely lady upstairs who acts for me. She called Telecom re non appearance and was told that Alice does not cover my area - I have just bought an apartment in Carassai. I am desperate for broadband as the signal is so weak here i cannot get BBC iPlayer for Radio 4 etc and what I can get is very slow.What is Fastweb, never heard of it.? Costs?Any info re Sky in Le Marche?. Will also post on the main forum but really appreciate any help you can give me.Thanks!hazy
I've just moved to Carassai and until i get a landline I am having to use a dongle to get online. Reception is awful, no 3G just weak GPRS - very slow, not strong enough for SKYPE or BBC iplayer for radio. When i get my landline which hopefully will be soon - which provider do i go for - Alice 7 or Tiscali 8? Anyone have any experience in this area as to the better provider/reception? Tiscali seems to be faster but as a technophobe I don't know which to choose. All help appreciated.Also, for interest - I'm the newcomer mentioned by Karen in her mail re Hertz breakdown - pleased to be here, still madly unpacking etc and waiting for residents permit so I can get my own car.
Hi to you both!I'm a newbie too - not over there yet but should be by the end of June. Will be in Carassai, someway north east of you. Maybe meet up sometime?
Thanks - will try this!
Will contact him. I'll be in Carassai - not too far from you.
