Interested in your thoughts about DAB radios. Anyone taken the plunge?

For me not worth the money atm... Maybe when theyve come down in price somewhat...

I have but rarely listen to the radio.
It's definitely better quality for home listening but I'd say in a car analogue is better as it compresses the loud bits and boosts the quiet bits.
The only real advantage for most is the channel selection, but most are available on sky or freebies anyway.
If you're into listening to the Archies or radio 4 then go for it but to most it's a waste of cash while analogue is still being broadcast

Got dab at home and it's alright. Amazed at how the signal drops of the aerial gets knocked though... Can't be that shite in a car though there would be anarchy??

i thought about it a while back, as it was dab this and that but after going in one of my mates cars who got it i choose not too serves its purpose for a few extra digi channels as and when signals healthy but thats it, tbh i listen to R1, local or ipod so cba spending more on something i dont need
