Is there an EPG for Irish DAB Radio ?

eirman

I cannot find a specific forum for DAB radio so this seemed like the best one.

I'm thinking of buying a "Pure Evoke 3" DAB radio. Does anyone know if RTE are broadcasting a 7 day DAB EPG (Just like the BBC)? The answer will decide whether a purchase is worthwhile. The info on the RTE website is very sparse ... there isn't even a DAB schedule.

Also .... If anyone out there has one of these radios, please come back to me, as I have a very specific question about its operation.

Coverage is very poor and bitrate is very low for MP2.

I'd not bother unless they switch to same bitrate in AAC. If you do buy a DAB radio make sure it has LW, FM and DAB+. If you want "future proof" get one with LW/MW/SW/VHF-FM as well as DAB+, DRM and DRM+ on Band I

Digital radio is still an "early adopter" system and it's not clear which if any system will be universal or when Irish Digital Radio would have current LW (AM and DRM) & FM-VHF coverage.

You could ask the Digital Radio people in RTE if they are doing full EPG yet on DAB.

I believe there is an EPG for the RTE DAB stations. I bought an iRiver B20 mp3 player last week which has a DAB radio. It loads an EPG but it didn't look accurate to me yesterday.
