The Bug DAB radio £59.99

NOWSE

Tesco have these in their on-line clearance. In the past people have rated them highly and I know that when I was considering one, approx 18 months ago, they were over £130.

It's a great radio, paid 120 quid for mine a couple of years ago. Only bad thing is the damn on/off button is very irritating. If you've got one you'll know what I mean.

Irritating at times, but not a reason to not buy one. It's no different to some of the tiny buttons on mobile phones that do more than one job.

The Bug is brilliant and has changed my life.

Is there a way to tone down the light though? I have it on the dimmest light setting but it still lights up my room!

Love it long time though :T

Mine is only just bright enough to see the clock, and certainly does not light up a room.

I upgraded to the EPG Firmware V2.0 http://www.pure.com/Support/kb.asp?FAQ=216&Product=VL-60715

Thanks - bagged one for a pressie!

I remembered to add a code for 1000 Clubcard points for spending over £50, but forgot to go thru' Quidco for 3% cashback :doh:

Just got to convince l'il bro' it's Stormtrooper White now ...

I've not upgraded the firmware so maybe that would make a difference. There's no street lights at the back of me so when its dark, its really dark... cept for the lovely blue glow of dab lol!

I agree to upgrade the firmware to v2.0, then buy a 1GB SD card to go in it, then voila you have the equivalent of sky + for the radio...pure brilliance.

Gone up to £69.99 today, I hope Tesco's honour the £59.99 order I made on Friday !

Hi
This is an excellent Dab radio, bought mine last year, cost £100+ in the graphite colour, perfect reception and excellent sound quality, and yes I know what you mean about the on/off button, when I'm trying to switch it off, I usually end up changing channels for a couple of mins, they're must be an easier way, although Ive never found it.

I've just looked and it's back to £59.99 again, with free delivery. I tried the code for 1000 Clubcard points though and that didn't work today, but it's still a good offer.
