Well I have a digital radio hifi ready for the future. But the signal is so crap, it's pointless. I stick to analogue.

My freeview box has freeview radio stations as well as a DAB radio option so i can pick it all up from my tv aerial. Not that I want BBC radio norfolk....

I would like to get one, have more variety of stations to listen to (although most are still full of crap), but the coverage is crap round my area.

I got one the other week, but it's annoying because it keeps losing the signal. Sound quality is much better though.

The only thing I listen to on the radio is Moyles and Mills so it would be a waste of money buying one.

you should save up and buy an expensive one and not pay for a cheap one cause it will be rrrruuuuubbiissshhh! Get a pure bug for 150 quid or of of ebay.

But technology will change and there'll be better ones. What would be the point. By the time the switchover is here for Digital TV we'll have radios doing god knows what.

Yeah this is true.

I guess there's really not that many channels on digital radio that you couldn't get on digital tv or online.

Hmmm.

I treated myself to one of the ugly/cool (depending on how you view them) looking bugs.

Married it to a 1Gb SD card so now I set the timers and record stuff while im working or watching tv.

Also great for having it on a sleep timer on talksport at night listening to whaley as i fall asleep and it waking me with moyles.

In my humble opinion it's the muts nuts and would recommend it to everyone.

I've had mine for about 18 months, it was still fairly expensive when i brought it, but it was worth the money.

we've just got broadband in the area... it will be another 10 years before DAB arrives.

Surely it should be the other way around - didn't DAB come first?

Same here kind of, we have got broadband but have very little DAB coverage.

Can I listen to that on Freeview? Is that technically Digital Radio in the beebs eyes?

I think it's wrong to do different shows on DAB. It's like they're bribing people to upgrade. My digital reception is shit.
