I've been listening to it this afternoon and am enjoying the eclectic mix being played.
For those interested, here's the link I'm using here in the US. (There's no mention of geofencing but you'll have to see for yourself.)
They don't seem to have a specific station logo so I quickly threw one together by grabbing a PNG file from one of their web pages, gimp'ing the station name onto it, and converting the result to JPG. It and the original PNG are attached. I should go back and do a better job on the choice of font and placement but I'll be happy if someone else beats me to it.
They are streaming mp3 in VBR (moOde claims 192 kbps). Everything I've heard so far is intimately recorded and sounds very good.

Three of the 5 Dutch 'NPO' radio stations are already included as standard with moOde. Two with only 64kbps streams.
For anyone interested here are updated 192kbps links to NPO Radio 1 and NPO Radio 2, plus two additional stations: NPO 3FM & NPO Radio 5, also at 192kbps.
