Last night I was round at a friend's, and they wanted to listen to BBC
Radio 3, on their portable DAB. However it did not show up on the list
of channels, although the other BBC channels were working. I tried
rescanning it, but R3 is still missing.

This is in Leicester, presumably from the same Tx that I reported
recently wasn't providing a usable signal at my location (just tried
my DAB for the first time in weeks - BBC is now back on, including
R3 ).

So what could be causing the above problem?

Crap buggy firmware in the receiver?

we moved into the kitchen to eat our evening meal, and switched on the
(modest) digital there. it played for a few minutes, and then started
breaking up. at the point where there was more silence than signal, i
switched the digital off and we gave up.

this was in cambridge: i don't know which tx serves us (presumably not
the tiny repeater just over our horizon that gives us such poor fm
service ... after all, with digital i get stereo reception ... when i
can receive it at all).

You don't get full stereo on radio 3 any more. They now usually
broadcast in "joint stereo" which gives a poor stereo image but lower
distortion. For full stereo and good sound quality you really need
to stay with FM.
