One thing that everyone has missed is that DAB is vertically polarised.
Thankfully all FM transmissions in the UK are now of mixed polarisation
(i.e. they have both horizontal and vertical components) so turning
your FM aerial vertical (if necessary) will not be a problem
(electronically - might be physically!)

You beat me to commenting on the polarisations. I suspect that having a VHF
antenna 'work' for DAB may simply be using its coax as the DAB antenna
because the actual antenna is a hopeless match at DAB frequencies. :-)

That said, I just made a DAB antenna using two bits of wire taped to
a wooden stick. (Flower support from the garden center.) 8-]
