PS: "Local" Scan? How is it different from a "Full" scan? Do they mean
scanning all the blocks? What makes any particular block "local"? Inquiring
minds want to know!

Different transmitters can, and do, carry different 'local' stations as
well as providing the same 'national' stations as each other. Like VHF/FM
analogue stations, each transmitter has a very limited range - a few tens
of miles at most, usually - so DAB stations can be very 'local', even if
the transmitter shares the same radio frequency as other more powerful
neighbours. DAB is very different from analogue.
