MessageHi Tim,
yep I am able to type in the TV stations fine. For RTE1 it's 101 here too
and so on.
It seems like I have to switch over from the TV to the radio using some
other sequence. like there is a button above the TV guide button which
brings up the radio listings but then I have to press something again to
activate the stations.
Yeah I'll have to contact them, or me brother-in-law might know.
Sab

Hi Sabrina
I'm not sure. Maybe your set up is different.
Can you type in numbers to get the tv stations, i.e. on my system
typing 101 brings up RTE 1.
Otherwise, I suggest you contact the people you bought your digital
package from.
Tim

No Tim it must be different here. tried typing in 901 and giving it a
few seconds but nothing happens. If I use my arrows, it brings me back to
the TV stations again.

Hi Sabrina
It depends on what digital tv system you have, i.e. is it Sky or
NTL/Corrus.
The easiest way is to type in the number of the station using the
number pad on the remote.
For example, for NTL systems the radio stations start at number
901 and go up from there. For example, rte radio 1 is 901, news talk
is 932, bbc radio 4 is 910 etc.
The best thing is to get a person with eyes to go through the
stations with you and you can either memorise the stations you want or
write down the numbers.
Of course, for sky and other digital systems the numbers will
differ.
Tim

Hi Tony,
The DAB radios will not pick up bbc stations or other stations
not broadcasting from Ireland.
This is one of the primary reasons why I wouldn't be very
interested in such technology.
After all, if you have digital television then you can receive a
far wider range of radio stations.
Cheers,
Tim

Hi Brian, & All,
I have a question or two re "value for money".
My knowledge of DAB is not vast but could you let us know are
the beeb stations received over here accessible in that format?
I know that RTE are trialling DAB at present, so I just wonder
is it perhaps a little soon to be rushing out to purchase?
I feel that I will "splash-out" when the concept has been more
widely embraced and developed and consequently that the price will drop!
I presume that it speaks what is on the screen, or is it only
somethings?
Enjoy!

Hi Gavin and Philip,
Some of the features of the digital radio are:
1. All prompts and information are spoken in a clear and easy
to understand voice.
2. It has ten pre-sets for your favourite radio stations,
which are easily accessed from the front of the machine.
3. it has a talking alarm clock with two alarms, which can be
set for weekdays or weekends.
4. tapping the handle at the top of the unit once lightly,
will give you the current time.
5. The clock is automatically set from a radio signal, which
will automatically ajust when the clock goes forward or backwards in spring
or autumn.
6. You can add an additional speaker, which will give you
stereo sound.
7. There is a headphone and a line out socket. Which means it
can be connected to a stereo amblifier if you wish.
8. There is a sleep timer.
9. There is an information key, which will speak the
information relating to the track name or what ever information is displayed
on the screen for each particular station.
The only negative aspect, is that it cannot be powered by
battery, so must be powered directly from the mains.
Is it worth the money? yes, I think so. Digital radio is
certainly the way of the future.
Hope that helps.
Brian.
