Chris,
Alarm Clock Radio Free - iphone app for starters
Can be used stand alone or as the Internet Radio source for the home hifi system.
Assuming she has a home WiFi, that will keep her data bandwidth to a minimum on a standard ADSL/cable service as opposed to the telephone network data.
Most modern AVRs will have DLNA capability and so will either :
1. Support the iPhone with a cradle as an internet streaming radio source
2. Allow a DLNA app on the iPhone (connected wirelessly to the AVR in the home) Apps such as PlugPlayer (iphone app) to act as your DLNA media controller - It can connect to your media library - eg MP3s on a Windows Media Player PC (or from the iPhone itself) or other PC based media server and control the routing of that media to your AVR/HiFi system.
So when she is in the lounge room she uses the iPhone to control the HiFi from her iPhone library or PC library, when she is in the bedroom she can use the iPhone to listen either natively or better yet in any one of 1,000 different mini boombox type of audio cradles now available for iPhones.
Alarm Clock Radio Free will even wake up with an alarm and on many AVRs will turn them back onto standby and start them playing to your favourite radio sigitial station !
Have fun !
Rally
PS - realised you were asking about digital radio - oops - I dont get that very well where I live !
Most stations now have an internet equivalent anyway - why bother.
I guess the AVR will support that too ?
Get an app or (use VNC to control a PC based app) to control the AVR and use the Zones output control on the AVR to play it through to her bedroom speakers
