I'm looking at a Hi Fi mag as I write, it appears to have lots of
tuners and receivers (well not receivers, they seem to be missing
from the listings) that are not DAB. Am I missing something,
isn't analogue being switched off soon? Or did I misunderstand
the news broadcasts of a while ago and FM radio is carrying on
and only analogue TV is due to be switched off?

There's no switch off date for FM radio unlike analogue TV.

I'd not want to lose my FM for DAB only, as the quality leaves much to be
desired on most stations. The 'suits' have gone for quantity rather than
quality so the data rate is too low.

However, DAB gives a choice of stations that you'd otherwise only get on
AM or not at all so might be considered the lesser of the two evils for
those.

You might consider a Freeview tuner for radio - they tend to be much
cheaper than FM ones, although don't have the same selection of stations.
