Are their any programmable thermostats that pick up the time signal off
air? If not why not? I find it a pain to change them twice a year. One
which does this and is flush fitting would be nice, too.

Honeywell CM61/67 has a plugin for this. About £23

Worcester Digistat does as well

Yes the Honeywell CM67 has an option.

If not why not?

Remember that MSF has moved to Anthorn, seems that a few people in the (RF
noisy) metropolis are having problems with the weaker signal. I'm happy I
can actually receive it now...

You mean you've only just noticed that your heating/hot water was out of
step with clock time? B-) The Danfoss TP75 is just a push 'n hold of two
buttons together to toggle between GMT and BST. Easy to do rather than
having to go through the clock setting procedure which every other clock I
have requires. Not the computers though, they are synced to the server
which is synced to the net with NTP.

Honeywell's CM907 (CM67 replacement), whilst not setting the time off
air (although a plug-in is available as Eric mentioned), can be set to
automatically switchover between GMT/BST at the right time of year. Of
course, this doesn't help with clock drift but it solves the specific
problem you mention (admittedly not flush fitting though).

How would a flush fitting unit sense the room temperature?
