Hi Again Ciarán, Tony and Tim,
I know it is not necessary...
but thank you all again and I just wanted to let you know that I got it with
the help of my pops!.
Tim, it is the same here the radio stations are all in the nine
hundreds but the only difference is that you can't get it straight from the one
hundreds to the nine hundreds. there is a button with radio marked on it down
near the bottom of the remote and then to go back to the tv stations I need to
press the exit button.
happy sounds!
Sabrina

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!
Tony Sweeney.----- Original Message -----

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.
