Grundig has announced the arrival of its first DAB+ Electronic Program Guide (EPG) and Record digital radio. The Grundig Replay can record and replay DAB+ programs, exemplifying digital radio at its best. The radio’s EPG allows listeners to see what shows will be played during the day for up to the next 7 days, making it easy to plan and record ahead.
The EPG allows users to view program schedules and receive detailed hourly information about what is being broadcast. The radio allows listeners to easily record DAB+ programs either via the instant record function or via the timed recording feature; enabling users to schedule up to three different programs to record at the same or different times. Plus you can preset regular recordings for a program daily, once a week, each weekday or just on weekends.
The Replay boasts a robust design, easy to use functionality and advanced digital features.
“We are very proud to introduce the REPLAY to the Grundig Digital Range. This amazing new radio provides customers with more freedom to choose what they want to listen and when. It provides the possibility to listen to more channels and catch up on what you may have missed during the day or week. It is a very exciting product and we think that it will be an amazing performer in 2011,” says Bush Australia Sales Director Brian Rodgers.
Commercial Radio Australia CEO Joan Warner says “commercial broadcasters are very pleased to see another digital radio coming to market which supports an electronic program guide.
‘We have looked at the merits of EPGs now that permanent DAB+ broadcasts are on air and commercial broadcasters are now considering a range of technical issues associated with broadcasting an EPG, including the number of DAB+ receivers in the market that can display an EPG. Products like the Grundig Replay radio will expedite these discussions and considerations.”
Currently all ABC stations are broadcasting an EPG service for listeners to view program information, with other stations expected to follow soon and assist with developing this technology further.
The Grundig Replay allows listeners to review their favourite programs or record music to an SD Card to share or listen to later. With the Replay model, listeners to 2UE will be able to say the old slogan ‘You won’t miss a thing,’ really reflects what can now be done.
