Anyone know much about the Roberts Stream 94i?
I have had one for quite a few years and tended use in the bedroom, controlling it from UNDOK on my tablet.
A few weeks ago UNDOK stopped worked so after trying various settings, I
did a Factory Reset.-a-a That seemed to fix it but the radio has died now, it flips between the displaying showing the clock at midnight, the clock showing correct time and the Stream 94i logo.
I can't get to the menus to do a Factory Reset again - is there any way
of doing a reset from few keys on the radio itself?
I only have a small portable radio with poor sound quality so I think I
am going to have to look for something a bit better than that.

Factory reset
If you wish to completely reset your sound system to its initial state
this may be performed by following this procedure. By performing a
factory reset, all user entered settings will be erased.
1.-a Access the menu for the current mode by pressing the Menu button. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight the 'Main menu' option,
then press the control to select.
2.-a Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'System settings' is
highlighted and then press the control to select.
3.-a Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Factory Reset' is
highlighted and then press the control. Rotate the Tuning/Select control
and highlight 'YES' to proceed.
-a If you do not wish to carry out a system reset, highlight 'NO' and
then press the control. The display will revert to the previous menu.
4.-a With-a 'YES'-a highlighted,-a press-a the-a Tuning/Select-a control.-a A
full-a reset-a will-a be performed-a and-a the-a sound-a system-a will-a restart
as-a if-a N4U rst-a plugged-a in.-a The-a DAB stations list together with any
preset stations will be erased and your wireless network connection
details will be lost. All conN4Uguration settings will be restored
to their defaults, the clock and alarms will be reset.
1.-a Access the menu for the current mode by pressing the Menu button.
Oops, just read your post properly!
I would contact Roberts support. I found them helpful in the past.

I can't get the menu, it just cycles around several screens.
They no longer stock the 95i but it is available from John Lewes.-a I
tried asked Roberts if the 94i battery is compatible with it but not had
an answer.
If you haven't already remove the battery, unplug from mains and leave
for about 15 min. Not a factory reset but ensures a clean boot.

Got my Roberts 95i today.
Nice sound from it etc but they appeared to have dropped the Roberts
Radio App that they mention in the instructions.
Not managed to connect to WiFi or BT yet.

Seems impossible to connect to WiFi now.
Pressing the button gets a message to follow the instructions in the 'companion App' - but the App has been discontinued!

Does the radio not have a method of manually selecting the WiFi network and then entering the password?

No

Open the Roberts app on your phone and choose the'+' button to add a
device to your WiFi network.
Do you regret changing your mind from last week?

Not really, my old one is dead and I like the 'sound' from their radios
and have a USB memory stick that I often play music from nothing much on
the radio.
I would really like to know if the 95i uses a proper Internet radio
portal (like airable.fm on my 93i). They have to pay for that service so
if they drop it would be disaster for my 93i and all the other proper Roberts Internet radios.

DonrCOt all Internet radios depend on a third party site? They have to get their channel lists from somewhere and they donrCOt have enough brain power to compose such lists themselves.
Try the wiim app from Linkplay Tech. It is apparently their chipset in the 95i

third-party site?
Yes.
A portal is the only way I know of to combine in a self-contained box
the simplicity of a "radio" with access to worldwide "internet" channels.
I do NOT want my radio to rely on mobile phone apps which rely on third-party sites.

Agreed; if you're going to rely on a third-party site anyway, you don't
want to insert yet another intervening "app.", especially one that is on
a moan. (I get enough of that attitude, from ASDA, Lidl, and - so I understand - some car parks.)
_Can_ internet radios be sent - by what means I'm not sure - the URL (if that's the right term) of a station that's not in whatever listing
resource they are hard-wired (firm-wired?) to use?

Yes, provided the portal has an option to add personal streams you do it (from a PC, phone, etc) via its website. Available with both the
previous and current portals used by Roberts.
Note that the radio will work without linking a (free) portal account to your radio and using their website. However, its much easier to select channels, manage favourites, etc from a PC.

One thing that I have noticed several times with the 95i, it has turned itself off when I have been listening to it - DAB I think but possibly
also streaming from a USB dongle
But I have realised now that it has been turning off, it has switched to Bluetooth (with nothing there so just appeared off).
