DAB

[BR14]

I live outside London. Have DAB in the car (Alfa), no problem with 5LiveSX, which is about the only digital-only station I listen to. The other stations in the car are also the DAB versions. No problems at all. At home, DAB radios work fine too.

Ditto this, other side (ish) of outside london

[WTFH]

I’ve three receivers, (one car and two portable). Outside of London it is so patchy, it only works when the car is stationary or inside a building, it is limited to certain areas. Furthermore, the bit-rate on some stations makes the sound worse than FM.

DAB, still crap after x years. A dead duck I think...

totally agree - I drive between the north west and Edinburgh a lot. Literally no reception through most of the lakes or the Scottish countryside. Plus what stations are available are fairly crap. I listen mainly to planet rock. Their playlist has not changed much over the past 20 years. In 20 years their playlist will consist of songs by dead people.

You're probably right. The other day walking down the street I thought... ah a funeral. Nope, just ten black cars parked along the street.

Colour will come to Bavaria. We can hope.

Never mind DAB, here in Germany my analogue radio only seems to receive 1980's music.

That's because you live in Bavaria

We like Dab. Similar to Sole or Plaice. An economical fish as it's plentiful in our waters and not on any endangered lists. You proles should eat more of it to spare the cod for palace tables.

Are you sure it’s not your receiver that’s crap?
