There's so much to hear, indeed!

Worldspace Radio LogoLast week, I got a new Worldspace subscription with a BPL One World receiver. There's a free gift of Logitech speakers with the same. The antenna of the receiever has to be in the south-east direction with an azimuth of 70 Degrees or More. Luckily one of my house's balconies is in the same direction, so I was able to get it fixed with no extra wires other than the one ( 5 meters)that is supplied with the receiver. 

 Once I got all the channels unlocked, I found out that there's really so much to hear. Especially, the quality of audio is really good, there were ocassional and minute delays  ( May be because of shifting from one LEO satellite to the other). But  the quality of the  audio as well as the programs are quite impressive.  I got rid of the stupid jokes and  ill-accented  RJs. Now I can listen to music all day.

My favorite channels are

  • Shruthi – 24 hour Carnatic music channel
  • Top 40 – Top 40 hits, Spandana – Telugu songs channel
  • Farishta – Hindi classical music channel
  • Jhanka – Bollywood songs
  • UP country – country music

With the price tag of Rs. 1000 /- per 6 months, WorldSpace is irresisitable for all music lovers.
