    Mods - please move to the correct area as Im sure im in the wrong place but cant figure out where this should be. Thanks

    Just wondering if anyone knows when buying a new hifi system - an all in one with turntable, cd/tape and radio like this one http://readeroffers.irishtimes.com/i-AA-GR077/Complete-Stereo-System/

    - what happens in 2012 with the radio side of things? I know the TV situation with Irish channels now going through Saorview, but does anything change with radio broadcasting services? Wil my mum still receive radio using this system? Or will she have to get a new Digital Radio in a couple of years?

    Thank very much for any advice.

    There will be no change in radio in 2012 or for the foreseeable future . The FM on the that radio will do for years..
    Aside from that, RTE radio are also available on Saorview.

    There's absolutely no plan to switch off analogue FM services anywhere yet.

    At present, DAB services don't really offer the clear advantage that Digital TV does. So, it's likely that DAB will just behave like an extra "band" on your radio tuner for the foreseeable future.
