| Tell us how you listen to Kiss whether on the radio or online. Would you pay $10 a month to listen to Kiss on your mobile phone? |

Radio and satellite. Now speaking of satellite whats going on with the change of satellite company? Where will you be going?
On line. Never. Start streaming in mp3 or ogg. Ogg streams are so much better on low bandwidth. |

Hiya Jim,
With regards satellite, we're moving over to Intelsat8 as we've been fortunate to hook up with our new friends @ SelecTV, all you need to do is get in touch with them and commence a subscription (unless you already have one) and we're right there in the radio channel lineup. You'll need an irdeto compatible decoder as a smart card is required.
Our new satellite feed with SelecTV uses a higher bitrate than our retiring feed and as such sounds WAY better (the bass and highs sound awesome when played through your home stereo). The other bonus is the new feed is in full stereo! 
For online listening, quite a while back we chose aacPlus and it has undoubtedly become the newly adopted industry standard for streaming - as well as being the format for terrestrial DAB+ digital radio soon to be launched in Australia. What you will find is that some of the players designed to receive terrestrial DAB+ will also stream aacPlus stations via wifi, making us even more avalable. They will be available in stores soon. My personal favorite is the Sangean WFT-1 DAB+ player and I'm looking forward to getting one to check it out...
We are currently testing an auxillary mp3 feed for devices unable to utilise the aacPlus codec, we'll publicise the address on the website shortly.
I do agree that ogg streams sound great, but unfortunately ogg hasn't been embraced by as many device manufacturers - and it's been around long enough to have penetrated the market, but it hasn't. So, in choosing aacPlus & mp3, we'd prefer to be more available than not. 
Cheers, thanks for listening. |

Your not going stereo on your LPONs are you? |

Yes, we're part of the SelecTV package and as such a valid irdeto2 smart card by way of subscription to SelecTV will be required to receive our new feed. The sound quality improvement (and the extra TV channels) make it well worthwhile.

The LPON's in Metro Melbourne will continue to operate in mono to retain a lower noise floor at such low power. Some of the regional transmitters servicing smaller areas with one transmitter might possibly go Stereo, undecided at this stage.

Glad about the LPONs. Stereo would be nice if you lived next door but for coverage I'm glad your sticking to mono.
Satellite. Got it.
Thanks for the info. |

Found the mp3. Also tryed the acc+ on VLC. Not bad at all. Is there anything stopping you adding a 32k acc+ & a few ogg streams too. Found a few other servers that seem to offer all of the above on one server and more.
Should have a talk to these guys http://www.internode.on.net/residential/entertainment/broadband_radio/  |

| has kiss recently upgraded its signal strentght, i live in geelong and reception was pretty patchy when driving around, espeically in the CDB with some religious channel overlapping kiss broadcast. Since its gotten cold the reception has been heaps better, and i suffer from 60% less dropouts, so i get to enjoy god tunes most of the day. I have to listen to the webstream at work, as in geelong cdb kiss is un-available. |

| Weather can play an effect on radio signals and cold weather (and clouds) tends to make propogation better. We have not altered our signal in any way in the Geelong area though. |
