I understand that it was straightforward to detect a good old analog TV with a CRT, because all that HT circuitry would ring like a bell and radiate a lot of EMF. I really don't think it would be quite so easy for a van on the street to spot a low-power USB stick tuner plugged into a laptop up on the 4th floor, for example.
I have a Pico WiFi - predecessor of this unit. It has not been without its problems; I am on my second unit having needed a replacement due to a hard hang problem. The Reciva Internet radio system is far from perfect; there are too many duplicate entries, and the categories provided don't really reflect the range of content that's available.
But it's a nice little unit, and this new version seems like it is a step forwards. I'd have one.
