Trying to listen to Internet Radio was working yesterday, but now it shows "Please wait" on the display. I have the latest firmware version (2.59).
Also the vTuner radio guide web page returns 404 error http://

Did Yamaha discontinue Net Radio?

Had contact with Yamaha Europe via Facebook. This is their answer:
Hi,

All Yamaha products get the Internet radio provider TuneIn.

So there is a change from vTuner to TuneIn.

Products from 2018 have the TuneIn already in it. So it affects the devices until 2018.

The update is coming.

Best regards

Sorry, it was a FB messgae, and they have now replied:

"Hi,

So there is a change from vTuner to TuneIn.

Products from 2018 have the tune already in it. So it affects the devices until 2018.

Best regards"

So I've asked them again - how long before the update comes?

They've clearly messed up!

hi, colleagues. the same in Russia . RX-V475 . It's not working. yesterday still all was. News about TuneIn is not very happy. how will this work with the addition of the personal stream . plus favorites will not transfer to the new server, so I think.

It seems nobody in Yamaha cares about update cycle and customers eventually.
Someone knew that ageement wih VTuner finishes at the end of the year and we are left without our lovely network radios.

Btw. I have r-n500 and the same issue in Krakow, Poland today.

Looking forward device update ;-)

Hetzelfde met de rx-v479. Heb er nog een raspberry pi aanhangen met kodi en een paar radio addons. Probleem al een stuk minder

Same problem in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I have Yamaha R-N301 , and no intrenet radio since yesterday.
Obviously they are making fool of us with answers like this. This is not unstable conection with some Yamaha products, as they said.
vTuner has new page and Yamaha is not listed as partner anymore, and anyone can check it on their web site.
If they don't find solution soon, many of us will aviod Yamaha products forever.
I know that doesn't mean too much for coorporation like Yamaha, but for our money we deserve better costumer support,at least.
