Re: DAB Radios
check this out.
http://www.rokulabs.com/products_soundbridgeradio.php
This is what I use. It connects to the internet and is smaller than lugging your PC around
Works in the UK with no problem at all. Sometimes the BBC blocks out non UK ip addresses and you can't access but if you look at the forum on the site it lists how to get around it if you need to.
Only available in the US but I've ordered them to be delivered to Singapore and they work fine.
Currently in the UK and works fine - just lurking around here coz I'm thinking of moving to the sandpit.

Re: DAB Radios
You can get an internet radio tuner much cheaper than the version recommended earlier in this thread. Go into a UK Curry's you will see several models e.g. Logik model at 49.99 works ok or there is also one sold by Aldi every 6 months or so. Difference is they do not have wifi so they have to connect to a cable direct from your router (the flashing light 'modem thingy' that plugs into the wall). If you have an Etisalat router use the network cable. Wifi would just allow you to place it anywhere cable free. If you get a model with an output socket for earphones or line out you can connect to your hifi for better sound. Scores of radio channels available. Haven't seen any of these radios here but I haven't really been looking.
Thing I have found with Etisalat is that their data streaming tends to be a bit intermittant causing occasional pausing at peak periods. Maybe it's just where I am in the city.
