Does anybody know if I take my Pure Move DAB radio on holiday to Italy, will I be able to receive my usual DAB programmes or will I just pick up local radio?

    No you will only get local DAB. It's a bit like FM in terms of reception distance.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    if DAB is broadcast in italy, you will receive any of the italian DAB stations.

    Similarly, the stations you receive in Liverpool, are different to what i receive here. there are only 2 national DAB Multiplexes, which are the BBC, and Digital 1. Everything else is regional.

    So, in a nutshell, you'll get any italian dab stations, if they broadcast using the same DAB frequencies / technologies as the UK
