Yes indeed we do get it Steve, however as you mention the wait can be quite 
lengthy if you tune in at the wrong time.

Trick is probably to listen a couple of times and write down the numbers of all 
the required channels. I find that trying to remember more than 2 while the 
listing continues to loop can be a bit of a waste of time!

I don't know if you get the same Sky service as those of us in the UK, but over 
here channel 996 is an audio channel listing for visually impaired people.  It 
takes fifteen minutes or more  to circle through, so if you tune in at the 
wrong point you have a bit of a wait.  But it's better than nothing.

If you don't get that in ireland, I'd be asking why not!

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

        Hello Mr. Culhane*smile*
        no your below mail got me asking if anyone could tell me how to switch 
from the TV channels to the radio ones you would be a pet for doing so!

                
                I got them on once by accident when I sat on the remote! but I 
don't know how I did it! and it took grate difficulty going back to the TV 
stations too!
                
                yours pressing buttons,
                Sabrina

                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.
