On the plus side though, a blokes mate who knows a bloke who has a friend who lives next door to this guy that used to work with a woman whose husbands friends mates best pal knew somebody who assembled lcd televisions, said its good fo the tv to be upside down for a bit as all the liquid flows in a different direction, making picture quality even better!
Dont know if its true, but this bloke was pretty positive.

The OP is factually correct - there are NO DAB broadcasts; the Australian standard is DAB+ so the vast majority of UK digital radios will not be compatible and so you will not get ANY stations.

The digital format in Australia is DAB+ and not DAB like in the UK. DAB+ is not compatible with DAB.

We brought our 3 digital radios and they don't work -didn't check out the DAB/DAB+ before we left. They are no use and can't sell them either.
