I just received the Aluratek radio a couple days ago (purchased from Amazon for $99.99), and it works great with a couple of gripes.
If you leave the display on all the time, it will keep you awake because it is so bright. If you turn it off, then you can't see what time it is without turning it back on. I would really like to be able to dim the display without turning the backlight completely off.
The sleep timer doesn't seem to work. I like to fall asleep to music so I set it to turn the radio off after one hour. Unfortunately, the radio continues to play all night long.
So far, I have only been streaming radio from the internet; that works fine. I tried FM, but it doesn't find my favorite station when it scans (it only finds 3 stations and I wouldn't listen to any of them on a bet). I haven't tried streaming music from my computer yet. I am interested to see if that is going to work since I do not use Windoze .

AHHHHGHHH!!! Bright blue!!!
I had a Timex Indiglo alarm clock from 1998 or so... didn't like it because blue light like that.
I ended up buying a Sony "Buzz-And-Beep" for $15. Green LCD digits... won't blind you at night.
Then I got a Pioneer DT-555 to control the DSP-A1000, the Tuner and CD player. Now THAT'S a loud alarm clock.
