My sister alerted me to this while she was leafing through the Radio Times the 
other night.  Seems that the latest Morphy Richards DAB radio includes an 
Electronic Program Guide facility, as well as recording to a memory card.  I 
thought perhaps the snippet from the review which follows might be of interest 
to a few here.



Must say in passing that the In Touch the other week about the take up of the 
talking Pure DAB radio was somewaht disappointing and it seems that the 
argument of making stuff talk for everyone, as well as us, simply doesn't seem 
to be delivering impressive returns as some like to argue.  So, will we see 
other EPG enabled DAB radios that are usable by those who cannot see the 
display?  Only time will tell.

Excerpt:

So we are happy it'll look good in your kitchen but will it work as well? 
Set-up is simple enough with a quick auto tune and also with a rather fine 
radio EPG which gives details of the current on air programme and also allows 
the recording features of the 27018 by letting the user see future programmes. 
This forward EPG is a unique feature which will become standard across many DAB 
units in the next few months but for now Morphy Richards have stolen the march 
on the others.

There are 14 presets to store your favourite stations 7 DAB and 7 FM, the FM 
tuner means that the 27018 will still be useful even if you happen to be in one 
of the UK's DAB black spots. the units sports a 132 x 64 pixel display which is 
backlit in a cool blue which makes reading the menus and EPG easier. The Ordio 
EPG comes as standard with a 10 minute record capability which can be set using 
a variety to timer options coupled with the EPG function, 10 minutes sounds a 
bit tight but this is really for the rewind live radio feature rather than 
making whole programme recordings. Luckily MR have blessed the Ordio EPG radio 
with a SD/MMC card slot meaning your can expand your storage capability just by 
buying a card.
