UK FM Radio Stations!!!!

Being a UK Zune user, I love my Zune HD btw, i'm frustrated by the radio. Having set the region to Europe I expected it to pick up the correct names of the radio stations in the UK, instead of Radio 1 being listed as KPFG for example. I'd like to see Microsoft work on this for the next firmware update.

How about it Zune Team?

It's not a firmware issue...it's how certain stations use or misuse RDS. Happens to some stations here in the USA as well.

I thought that could be an issue, why not give users the ability to rename the presets to the correct names then!

not a bad idea... i wonder how that would integrate with the rest of the RDS stream... And, just as an aside...it's funny that some EU stations don't get this right (RDS...) as it's a European innovation...
