I don't think it has this facility, and just now I can't get at the CD
manual because it is in a cupboard surrounded by loads of Christmas
presents. If I find out any more I will let you know.

Hi Wendy
The Netgem box no longer provides accurate channel names of some stations.
This is because it was originally tagged to speak certain channel names, and
updates have caused its tagging system to go out-of-date. But since I don't
watch much TV other than news and sport, it doesn't affect me.
I am curious to know, however, whether the Media Centre from Portset you
mention you have lets you find out the name of a song on a DAB station using
the text system. Lots of stations now show the names of the track they are
playing, and I wonder if you can find out that info on the Centre?
