Mind you
DAB and hi-fi aren't words I'd use together:-(

Nor me, but I *do* like the extra channels. I'd rather have BBC 7 and 6
Music on DAB than not at all.


If you want digital radio for home fixed hi-fi use you'd just as well
get a Freeview or Sky box, at least the bitrates are higher....

Good idea... a Freeview box would save money as well, being about half
the price of a DAB tuner. But does anyone know:

- is the sound quality going to be OK?

Its certainly better than DAB on most stations the only sizeable station
missing is Classic FM but I believe that may be added before long.

- is it more likely to manage with an indoor aerial, less likely, or
the same? (the FM tuner gets a good signal with a bit of wire stuck in
the back)

The Freeview is more likely to need an outside TV aerial rather than a
bit of wire stuck in the back This bit of wire often sods up FM from
what it can be:-(

- how practical is it to use it as a radio tuner without a TV? (I could
take it to the TV room for setting-up first).


No problems at all we have our on a lot of the time for Jazz FM which is
a tad awkward to receive here.

So many questions. It ought to be easier than this.

The joined converged tech eh?......
