DAB radios ?

Do DAB radios work anywhere ?? We live remote in hills & dont have much radio reception at all, also tv only only with a booster so we use sky. I love classic FM and cant get it, even online, it cuts out and fades. If I get a DAB radio will it work here, does anybody know?

Ooooh yes it says I should be able to get it ! yaaay ! Yes PPG, it's on sky I think but I want it on the pc in the spare room, not in the livroom - that's a deafeningly-loud-telly-zone belonging to the OH !!

Have you thought about getting a Sky Gnome? Only secondhand now, Ebay? This will relay sound from your Skybox to any room in the house, without wires, and you can change channels remotely.

But the OH is always watching soaps or rubbish ... He hogs the sky remote and cuddles it to him like a bar or gold bullion ....:)

Get a second skybox and fit a dual lnb, easy to do, then you have all the radio stations you want.
