Yamaha Receivers Problem with Net Radio

[Ponzio]

I just LOL when I read whining comments about 'that $3 per YEAR' vTuner now charges. Just stop buying that shitty cup of coffee from Starbuck$ and you've recouped some funds for Net Radio (and other nice AV things).

Hey, I resemble that.

I just looked on the info screen, and it says I am on v2.65 firmware. My screen still says NET RADIO...is it supposed to still say that or the new airable radio? On the first screen it says radio as a first choice, and then Podcasts as the 2nd choice.

Am I supposed to be paying a monthly fee now? It doesn't ask me to.

See, there you go.

I'd still look into doing a firmware upgrade though.

I completely, the net radio app changed. Make sure you are on the latest firmware.

Just "NET RADIO"

What is this about a yearly fee?

That only applies if you're an owner of one of these models.

And you have vTuner. You should be fine.

Just checked my A-780 and all is well with Net Radio.

I rate Yamaha service pretty high. Few things are more difficult than trouble shooting over the phone. My first job in engineering was that very thing. The Yamaha techs I dealt with were patient with me and followed through tpo make sure I was taken care of. The big plus was that they were in the US so there wasn't a communication problem. Nowaday that's rare.

My Net radio doesn't work so I appreciate all of the discussion.
