DAB aerial

In article ,

Hello,

I hope this is not considered off-topic. I have read other posts here
about TV aerials and I hope to fit the aerial myself, so I think it
falls into the category of DIY.

I know you can get FM aerials for your radio and you can get a
multiplexer so that you can combine the TV aerial and fm aerial (in
your loft) into one cable and then use a demuiltiplexer at the other
end (in your lounge) to separate the TV and radio. This saves lying
another cable.

So far so good. But I have now upgraded to a DAB radio. What aerial
should I use for this? I presume a special DAB one. But can I use the
multiplexer option with that? I don't want to be lifting floorboards
etc. to lay a new cable if I can help it. I haven't seen any TV/dab
multiplexers or have I? I have seen uhf/vhf multiplexers; is this what
these are? If not, what are they?

Thanks,

Hardly worth bothering with IMHO, as the **** poor audio quality on DAB
as it stands in the UK makes listening to anything bigger than a Mono
portable unit a real pain!.

I'd hardly call it upgrading!....
