    I found 2 units that do what you want:

    the LG LXBU250
    http://www.lgelectronics.co.uk/proddivergent.do?categoryId=020208&modelCategoryId=&parentId=0202

    and the SL-D900 DAB on this page
    http://www.teac.co.uk/dabradio_main.html#

    Hope this helps

    Thanks again.
    The LG unit is a Micro so not what we are looking for, however, will look into the TEAC unit.

    L.S.D.
    This site is about saving money. Thats what you can do if you already have a SKY system or Freesat and you want better quality digital radio. Sorry thats it obviously an unwelcome revelation to you, but its an undisputable fact.

    I note your other anti-SKY posts. I am no fan of SKY as you can see from previous posts.
    Survivor of debt, redundancy, endowment scams, share crashes, sky-high inflation, lousy financial advice, and multiple house price booms. Comfortably retired after learning to back my own judgement.
    This is not advice - hopefully it's common sense..

    Nothing against SKY, I'm on Sky Freesat with they're card, just don't like paying ever upward prices (saving money) to SKY. I really don't like the way you run down DAB radio. I've had it for 2 years & absolutly love it. This is my last post about the subject as I don't want a good thread ruined with petty arguments. As a matter of interest if you get a Free to View Satellite receiver there are thousands & thousande of Radio stations up there including SKY, & that makes SKY's contribution like a spit in the ocean.

    Anyone wanting a DAB radio believe you me it is really good & the sound is also good, don't believe me!!! then just go onto one of the many HI FI manufacturers sites & see how they describe it, usually CD 'Quality' or similar, if that was a wrong description then one of several organisations would take them to court. The fact is DAB is BETTER than most people want or need.
    Nice to save.
  • Hi,

    Has anyone pruchased one of the Digihome DAB radios from Amazon? Does it have an AUX output, or is it just the headphone socket???


    Many Thanks!

    My wife bought me a DAB Radio for my Birthday last month and I must say it's been a bit of a bargain. Can't stop listening to BBC Six Music (just my sort of station).

    Anyway, it's a Bush SYS4000DAB DAB/FM Micro System available from Argos for £49.99. Not bad considering it's got DAB/FM/MW tuner, CD Player, single cassette player. If it works, the link should be here

    http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5130982.htm

    Like I say, so far, I've been dead impressed with it!!

    Cheers, Rez


    Here here, Rez -- I was also given this machine by my partner for birthday present last month, and am extremely impressed. It's a micro system, so perfect for the kitchen, and handy with CD player and remote as well.

    Like you, we've adopted Six Music as our new home station -- so refreshing to hear loads of interesting and top quality music instead of the usual rubbish.

    Whoever said don't trust Alba/Bush -- what a snobbish load of rubbish. It's not Sony, but it works perfectly, comes with a one-year guarantee and for a complete system under £50 you get far more than you pay for.

    I had an alba clock radio that lasted for 14 years, so they can't be that bad!
  • Just found the Alba TRDAB2820 in Sainsburys at £39.99 (in white/blue)
