DAB deader than a dodo?

[Ignis Fatuus]

Does any of the congregation have a DAB radio? Are they significantly enough better than the alternatives (FM, internet etc) to be bothered with?

I second what Tony English said: if you want rock music, you need a DAB, except where you have access via other digital means in the places where you want to listen. It's not for quality, it's to get the stations at all.

Can you get Test Match Special on it? Radio 4 seems to have different programs on FM when that's on Long Wave.

The Father-in-Law got Mrs SB one for the kitchen. Pretty useless a lot of the time, and the only time I tend to use it is to listen to Planet Rock when I am breaking stuff..........er I mean doing DIY.

[Ruprect]

Yep, have 4 in the house. Swear by them now. Much much much much much better than FM

Only have a portable Pure one for the cricket...for some reason the car doesn't have LW. 57 Audi but no LW and no DAB...go figure?

Vorsprung Durch Tragik??

Totally useless where I live, yet a mile up the road my mum's works without a problem. I use an Evoke Flow instead and the wireless internet radio. That's great, I can program it with tons of different net radio stations and flip them when ever I want. I've even used Radio Time on the android phone to listen to Marc Riley on the way home from work. It cuts out on the train every so often but better than nowt.

If they haven't got valves in, they're no good to me.

Memories of school homework listening to Radio Luxembourg.

And trying to keep the thing tuned in.

It had a lovely mellow sound though and I was much miffed when it mysteriously disappeared rom the family home, 'cos I wanted it.
