General Comments

Pure Digital The Bug is an excellent Radio - allows use of external Ariel (essential in SW Scotland). I am unsure if it is upgradeable to DAB+ (probably isn't). Styling is either to your taste or not. Scrolling text needs more customisation options. EPG works well when flashed to 2.2<.
