Disadvantages: None

...brand name. The Technika logo. Under this are five small silver buttons, the same colour as the handle and the other buttons on the radio. The five buttons are the smallest buttons on the radio, and are easy to touch each one, despite being having a few millimetres distance between each one. They are all numbered and underneath is the word "Presets". This is a clever part of the radio, which I will explain more about later. And next to your preset buttons oyu have a big standby button, the biggest button on the radio. It has the usual power symbol engraved into it, so there are no stickers that are going to become lost or confusion over which buttons are which. Under the preset buttons you have three more buttons, from the left are "Display Info", "Menu", and "DAB/FM". Under these three buttons are the last three buttons on the radio... Read review

Advantages: Compact, Stylish
Disadvantages: Slightly slow software

...Technika television all though not a very common or well known brand is a exptional product of very high quality. I own and am very pleased with my Technika television that we purchased from our local Tesco store. It was easy to install with auto setu so it's basically plug it in and it's all ready to use. The quality of picture is very good and does not have any reflections from the sun shining on it that i have found very irritating when you are trying to watch something on other brand of televisions. The picture is sharp and well contrasted with brilliant colour. The sound is also very high quality never fuzzy and never any varied volumes. The television itself is in a subtle silver colour fitting in well with any bedroom colour a credit to the room itself. It is none bulky and doesn't take up much space making it easy... Read review

Advantages: Its a remote control
Disadvantages: Doesn't do a lot, very basic, Cant be used to switch that radio on!!!

...I bought this because I wanted to be able to have a radio on my iPod, as it was somthing I was missing during my Minidisc days. However I have to say I am disappointed with this, for a start I think the radio is in the iPod and not the remote, so its a good way for Apple to get £35 off you, and for £35 I would expect something more than this. The biggest problem is that you can't switch between Music from your iPod and the radio with the radio remote. So if you are going a long listening to some tunes on your iPod, you cant use your "RADIO REMOTE" to switch your RADIO on!! I am not saying it should be overly complicated, but literally all you can do is change tracks, volume and play/pause/stop. I just couldn't believe that at first it seemed to obvious a feature to leave out. You have to get the iPod out of of your bag or pocket... Read review

Advantages: Ease of use, build quality, problem free remote control feature
Disadvantages: Mediocre radio reception, bit expensive I suppose

...First of all; my impression/opinion on the radio function of this is that its mediocre at best. The radio reception can be OK then the next minute it will be crackly, I will also add that I went into the settings on my iPod (which it tells you to do in the radio remote's instruction guide) and choose the correct country for radio frequency purposes, but it didn't make any real difference, so like I have said the radio function for me is mediocre at best. After plugging in the radio remote, there will be a new menu feature called radio; if you select this and then press and hold the back or forward button, the iPod will tune to the next available radio station, if the signal is strong enough you will receive RDS (this is a feature that shows the station name and other relevant station information). But to be honest my sole reason... Read review

Advantages: Excellent reception, audio quality
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Background I have enjoyed DAB digital radio for sometime after being treated to a Pure Evoke1 for a Christmas present. A radio I am delighted with, but unfortunately, although its light and portable it relies on the mains supply to work. Here in Kent where I live a new Multiplex is currently being launched so I decided that I would now like a DAB radio that was a bit more portable having a battery provision The Contenders As some of you will know if you read my first review, I bought an Acoustic Solutions Portal 2 DAB/FM radio from Argos. This radio was great value at only £69.99 at the moment. Unfortunately this proved to be quite deaf and flatly refused to receive stations that my nearby Evoke1 radio would happily receive. So it was back to Argos for a refund. The nearest contender was the Bush TR2003 DAB built in a retro style... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic radio/alarm at a modest price
Disadvantages: None

...Just before Christmas my trusty but rather elderly portable radio gave up the ghost. I needed another one. But this was just before Christmas and my mind was on other things. Like Christmas shopping! Whilst wandering round ASDA in Telford for a number of Christmas presents my wife drew my attention to a small but very attractive silver-coloured radio. It boasted digital tuning (it is not a DAB radio, however) and three wave bands. One AM and 2 FM. It also has a built-in alarm clock function and a dial light of a rather nice amber/orange colour. I was amazed at the price. £6.95? Surely it can't be any good for that price? It was actually remarkably good! Controls are push button on the front and very well laid out, save for the slider switch for the two FM bands and the rotary tuning knob on the side. The AM band covers... Read review

Advantages: Useful remote for your iPod. Extra earphones. Well integrated with the software.
Disadvantages: Expensive. Not a good quality radio.

...This thing is overpriced. £35 to have a function that should be built into an ipod as standard. Having said that you can often buy them for half that price on ebay and they are quite useful - it is not just a radio but also a remote and a spare pair of heaphones (with a nice shorter cable). As a replacement pair of original Apple headphones are close to £20, you may as well shop around for this little bundle instead. Even if you do not want a radio it is nice to keep your iPod in your bag or coat and control it with a Shuffle style remote. I used to have a Griffin radio and remote for my iPod (Griffin 9125-IFM30 iFM - FM Radio and Remote for iPod) . It was okay and I think the radio had better reception. I still prefer the Apple version as the control for the remote is similar to the one on the iPod (and identical to that on the i... Read review

Advantages: Program Guide really clear and simple, quite good features
Disadvantages: No series link, not the most energy efficient box.

...I have been using Freeview for a while now with a single set top box and as with many other people I was getting fed up that I couldn't record two digital channels or even record one and watch another. My solution to this problem was to look into the growing range of personal video recorders PVR's that are coming onto the market. The guidelines for my purchase were that I wanted to have a twin tuner which would allow recording of 2 digital channels and I also wanted to keep to a budget of £120 max. Be careful here as not all twin tuner recorders will let you record 2 programs at the same time. The Technika one does but many record one channel whilst you watch another. Unfortunately my budget ruled out Humax and Topfield which most people seem to think are the best as they are about £160+. I bought the Technika about a week... Read review

...When I did some work on my kitchen a couple of years ago I decided to install a little LCD TV on a wall bracket so that I could rotate it to watch the TV in the kitchen or the dining area. It worked just fine and the little 15" LCD TV was OK. Well it was until I realised I could also watch the TV out in the conservatory and then, to be honest, the picture just wasn't big enough! I got to thinking that a 19" TV was what was needed and started looking around for something suitable that wouldn't actually break the bank. One day when wandering into TESCO I spotted a big pile of Technika 19" TVs on offer. The price tag said they were reduced from £179.99 to £149.99 and they just seemed too much of a bargain to pass them by. I thought about it overnight and popped back to TESCO the following day to put one in my shopping trolley... Read review
