You don't have any local FM stations you can pick up with a regular antenna plugged into the Beomaster?

Another option for cases where vintage audio collectors would like to still exercise their FM tuners is to broadcast your own FM station. This may sound a little strange but I hate not being able to use all of the functions of my vintage equipment. I bought a small FM transmitter and feed my digital music library to it so I have my own, local radio station playing. The sound is not as good as directly sending the music source (computer or iPod) to the amplifier but the purpose hear is to create content for the FM tuner and the home transmitter does that nicely.

Roberto1001:

Short answer : nothing Sad except, maybe, changing your cable provider...

Even with Sonavor's idea, you won't be able to choose between all the radio stations as in the past (i.e. by turning the tuner knob of your Beomaster).

You can still use your Beomaster to listen to the radio (the idea of Sonavor works !), but not the way you used to do it.

--> you choose one frequency to transmit and then you set your Beomaster to receive this specific radio station.

If you want to listen to another radio, you'll necessarily have to choose it "digitaly" (no more action to do on your Beomaster).

 

There are other solutions today to listen to the radio (with or without your Beomaster), but this is not your question...

If you have a line-in plug, then yes, it's there.

The "Chromecast audio" device is one of the cheapest solution today.

Steve from Soundsheavenly (the guy with the blue shirt down the page) can supply you the right cables.
