    If you have broadband you could always go with an internet radio solution

    Are there not plenty digital stations from the Satellite?

    I don't own an iPod, but as I understand it is highly unlikely that any audio files for that device will be 'hi-fi' (high fidelity) .....

    From what I have read, the quality of the radio from Sat is better than DAB ...... but that is not from personal knowledge ....
