Reciva Radio
As it takes a while for the Reciva database to be updated with the new streams you will need to search for Quasar - Non-Corporate Radio on the Reciva website. Once you've found us in the results, select the station name. The station & stream information will appear. Check that it's passed the stream test and then select "add Quasar to My Stations". It will immediately appear in your My Stuff, My Stations menu on your radio as long as you've registered your radio with the Reciva website. https://radios.reciva.com/

How to Listen
Quasar broadcasts using the internet and a shout-cast stream encoded by AAC+, unlike terrestrial radio we are not limited to one small spot on the planet. OK at the moment it is not so easy listen to us in your car or when out and about, but this is beginning to change with the introduction of iPhones and the like.

PC/MAC
The easiest way of listening to us is via your computer and this is done by clicking on the 'Listen live Logo' on the sidebar or 'Player' on the Main Menu. This will open a Flash player in a new Tab/Window which can remain open in the background while you continue to surf the net. All our streams are 'Port 80 Enabled' which means they are able to get past most corporate Firewalls making it easier to listen at work and as we use AAC+ we can use a lower bitrate which in turn uses less of your resources. The built in Flash player will play on any computer or device that can handle flash medium.

Quasar streams using AAC+ this is a fairly new high quality technology. Not all players have yet caught up with this technology but are gradually doing so, if you are using a PC we recommend using Winamp for best results. On a MAC the latest iTunes is recommended.

Real Player format is supported by many default players, so try clicking this even if you do not have Real Player installed. It also works on MAC computers.

If you are Windows user and have Winamp installed then click on the Winamp logo to start the player. Bookmark the stream then you can listen to us without needing to use your browser.

If you are a MAC user then click on the iTunes icon and Quasar should open in iTunes which means you do not have to keep your browser open to listen.

Remember. If you use any players to listen to the stream you can book mark them in the players so you do not have go to the website whenever you want to listen to Quasar.

Internet Radio (Reciva)
There is of course an even simpler way and that is by using an Internet Radio, these devices are similar to ordinary radios except that they utilise your broadband wifi and give worldwide coverage of radio stations. To tune your internet radio to us search by Genre 'Soft Rock' and we are listed as 'Quasar AAC+' & 'Quasar - Non-Corporate Radio'. To save having to do this every time save us on one of the radio's presets.
Happy Listening

A Note on Buffering
Sometimes Quasar will go quiet and the Internet Radio or Computer you are listening on will come up with the statement 'Buffering', this is not a technical fault with quasar but the internt getting clogged up. This normally clears after a while but on occasions can be severe.
