Why not go for FM something like a second-hand Denon MK 260 MK 2 can be
had quite cheap on ebay?..

As I explained they also listen to MW for sport etc and the interference
levels are high. The current tuner is AM/FM. So I reckon either Freeview
or DAB to give these MW stations. But DAB tuners tend to be expensive and
(given my experience) might also need their own aerial.


Or there's Freesat, around here MW is completely useless, the only station
that comes in at anything like usable quality is BBC world service on
648kHz, everything else is buried under the mush, but I can get them from my
Sky box if I need to, along with Radio Scotland and many other previously
"exotic" stations. But if your friend already has a UHF aerial Freeview is
probably easier.
