Buying a DAB radio

    ...is it worth it? :confused:
    Argos has a Bush DAB set for €85 and I'm tempted...but will it pick up BBC 6Music and 5Live SportExtra for example?
    From what I understand, which isn't much :D , the signal is not stronger, just clearer?
    Does anyone have any info on how to listen to DAB stations otherwise, without using the PC...

    TIA,
    Del

    According to the husband (who works in P**er C**y), DAB won't work here... I've been begging him to get me a DAB radio for ages or I'd buy one in another retail outlet... so I've had to knock it on the head for the time being.

    However, if he is WRONG, please tell me so I can get one!!!

    No point in having one over here yet! RTE the only ones testing

    DAB from the UK will not work in Galway.

    Have a read here as to locations where I have picked it up, and info on the current DAB trial RTÉ are undertaking.....
