We have a couple of DAB radio alarm clocks. One of them will find
and play radio channels, albeit with a low signal strength. The
other can't get a reliable signal despite being just the other side
of the bed. Both have lengths of thin wire for aerials.

Is there anything I can do to get reception? I've moved the wire on
the difficult one up, down, left and right but got nowhere.


Yes! Try FM

Not every station we listen to is on FM...

Use a raspberry pi or other computer to listen to them on the internet



Better still buy a Roberts Stream94 and avoid ALL the awful Linux
garbage.


The iStream94 is an excellent radio but I think you will find the software
is Linux based- I stumbled across some details of the software when
researching models.


So is my Humax HD FOXT2 PVR but I don't need to interact with it
directly.

For a bedroom radio you want something that is easy to use even
with the lights off !!

Unlike some of the cheaper Internet Radios, the user interface is very
straight forward and, above all, stable.

I use mine in DAB, Internet Radio, and Media mode - very occasionally in
FM.
