Given the limited independent media options available here in the High Country, a lot of us are forced to stream news and music from the internet. It's great to have all of the options that are out there in cyberspace, but let's face it--being shackled to the computer isn't always the most comfortable experience.
Fortunately, there are a range of products out there that can liberate us. We do not do product endorsements, but generally speaking, these products are referred to as wireless music systems (for the PC or mac).
Here's what they do: in a few very easy steps, these wireless transmitters take whatever you are streaming on your computer (news, music, etc.) and re-transmits what is being streamed on your computer directly to a stereo elsewhere in your house. These things are seriously easy to use--we did it, and it took all of 20 minutes to set up. The end result is that you can stretch out on your couch or bed and listen to your favorite non-corporate show--and it will seem like it's just a local, over the air program.
Imagine what it would be like to have something informative coming out of your speakers, instead of what passes for news or entertainment around here.
Here's a link to some of these products.
