Try Iplayer Phil.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Get a YouVeiw box, It's simple enough to use, and loves Wales. Least mine always tunes to the welsh channels.

You can download from iplayer now which may help

Look.....I've just had enough problems replacing the battery in my 'cheapo' Casio watch this morning (TRUE)......And then going through downloads as how to re-set the s*dding thing.

You cannot be serious in thinking that a complete 'numpty' and technophobe like me has got any chance with that sort of thing. 
But while I'm here on the subject of time.......What IS the time ?
Every digital doo-dah I've got.....(getting the same signal off a mast about half a mile away)....Shows a different blanking time.....(I presume that's down to 'buffers' in each individual bit of kit.).....Three DAB radios....Three digital TV's (if we include the silver haired Mother in Law next door....They're all showing different times. )

I used to like it when that nice Mr Wogan did the 8 o'clock 'pips' each morning on FM.....I knew where i was then.

Cheers - Mr Grumpy.

Try the good old speaking clock Phil, just dial 1234 on your phone.

Just turn on your radio Phil and tune in to either BBC Home Service or the BBC Light Programme the time should be told on that every so often

[Techno]

Steve.... I'll have to figure out how to re-set radios to FM. .....I'm too old for this poop ! 
Cheers - Phil

What's FM?

Sorry your having problems with it all, but I am told if you write a letter to John Snagg he can sort everything out for you

What's FM?

Something that my prehistoric brain can get its mind around...and understand.
