(About DAB radio)

More fool me - it isn't worth buying (apart from Radio 3). Get
freeview or satellite instead for digital radio - it works.


It is worth getting, just for Radio 3.
A £50 Argos special through a decent amp and speakers is excellent.


But a £50 Freeview box gets you that - at an even better bit rate,
plus a heap more radio at decent bit rate, plus a load of TV channels
which are, of course utter dreck.


I agree with all of that, except that Freeview gets you BBC3 and BBC4,
which I would put in the 'better than dreck' category!

FWIW, I sold my DAB tuner and bought an FM aerial with the proceeds. Now
I mostly use the satellite box for my radio.
