MessageHi Again Ciaran, 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!

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.
