Solar powered igital radio

Having just received a solar powered digital radio for father's day, was wondering if such technology exists in Dubai (digital radio stations, not solar power!) If so, what styles and types and languages etc?

Oh dear :( was hoping I would be able to sit outside on balcony etc & receive free music and sport talk. Maybe I will just have to subscribe when work permit is all sorted.

If you have an iPhone and wifi, you can get virtually everything via the Tunein Radio app. Presumably there's something similar for your PC.

Yep, sorted on that front, but the radio is a nice little leaving present & would like to let the kiddies (all in their 20's!!) know that it is being well used:)

There are no digital broadcast transmissions being made in Dubai at the moment. There was a digital TV transmitter trial many years ago but that never went "on-air" either.

You're not LH reincarnate, are you? Mind you, he'd have probably said, "And what exactly is a Radio?"
