It's not great, is it? I remember when it was first introduced

with
'CD quality sound' and bitrate of 192 kbps. Listening to it now,

sounds like medium wave without the fade or the static.


Comments like that just shows you've no real experience of either.


You live in London though where DAB is fine while FM can be a
problem because of illegal transmitters, buildings etc.

Many parts of the country have better FM reception than DAB.


Anything (FM) is better than nothing (DAB)...

The car has DAB, the few times I've listened to it there is something
about the quality/procesing that makes it very wearing to listen to.
Can't take more than half an hour or so before having to switch to
something else, which can be the same station on FM that isn't
wearing...
