Re: DAB Digital radios
No - there is no call for DAB here as there are enough analogue frequencies to go around. Radio here isn't too impressive - we listen to a lot of UK radio via the internet, with a laptop plugged into the kitchen stereo. So I'd ebay your DAB set, sorry, unless it has FM also.

There was a guy did a breakfast show over here at one point fresh from NZ, he found himself in an awful lot of trouble when he applied his "NZ breakfast show experience" to the UK one...ended up getting fired IIRC.
They don't blank out half the words in the song either, they give you a choice of whether you want to listen to it, if you don't like it, switch off! How much more mature and sensible is that to the UK attitude of "Blank out any word advocating anything slightly bad", such as the word "High" in some songs!
