DAB Radio - what has happened?

[MarshPhantom]

I borrowed a VW Transporter recently with DAB Radio. All good apart from the fact it will only find BBC stations. We now have a very similar problem with the TV at home. We have other DAB radios that will find loads of non BBC stuff.

So what the heck has happened?

[MarshPhantom]

I wouldn't be at all surprised.

Maybe I should complain about political bias?

The vans gone back but it's nearly as bad on the TV.

Might be an idea.

Thanks for all the replies so far.

I connect my mobile to the radio for some stuff while out driving but that's only good if you have a signal.

My BMW has DAB it didnt work in France yesterday and i missed pop master can uk DAB work abroad???

According to wikipedia it's very limited abroad. Countries in dark blue are the ones that have it.

Nothing in France, Italy, Ireland.

Ditto. Have it in our camper and I've given up trying to use it unless parked up. Not even a great signal in parts of London.



Tried retuning our TV and I can't even find a "scan" option. A lot of the radios used to have a pause/rewind feature which seems to have now disappeared.

Brilliant for me, rarely loses signal and can pick up more stations that I'd ever want to hear.

Must be you.

What type of aerial do you have?

[MarshPhantom]

I've never thought it's that great in London even.

Extra stations - I get a load come up on the display but if you try to tune in a lot won't work.
