Radio stations reshuffling on Freeview

Some changes to the radio stations found on Freeview. Some stations will be changing frequencies for technical reasons. In September, Heat and Kerrang moved, and on the 3rd of October, BBC Radios 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be moving. They'll be on the same channels numbers, but you will need to rescan the channel lineup on your Freeview receiver to continue to get these channels.

BT Vision update Wednesday 19 Sept

iAudio D2 Media Player Reviewed

We've just got our hands on a tiny MP3 player - the Cowon iAudio D2. This is the Swiss Army Knife of MP3 players - Audio, video, images, FM radio, DAB radio, text viewer, recorder (voice and radio), plus loads more. It has a touch screen and probably the most powerful set of audio tweaking tools we've been on a portable. And did we mention it's tiny?

This is a well-made, and feature packed little device, and we've been able to secure two deals - a 5% off voucher or a free case for the player.
