The Livio Radio with Pandora also features 11,000 internet radio stations from Reciva not to mention the ability to sync your online Pandora account and listen to it on the Livio. The thumbs up and thumbs down feature on the remote and on the radio is a great feature. If you don’t like a song press the thumbs down button and never here it on that Pandora station again. The wifi set it up is very easy just plug it in and the Livio will automatically find a wifi network to sync to. The Livio also has an auxiliary input so you can play your i pod through the Livio speaker or hook the Livio up and listen to it over your home entertainment system.
