Can you not get Absolute Classic Rock in your area?

Has that ever been on DAB? Never been able to get it on mine that I'm aware of.

Tried all them and more. Facebook's pointless because bands don't read many (if any) visitor comments and any comments disappear very quickly off the bottom of the page anyway, due to the massive pictures that fill timelines!

Signed. PR is pretty much the only radio station I'll listen to now. Everything else plays absolute tosh.

I used to love listening to Kerrang when I visited my family in the Midlands and was thrilled when PR took over the station. Was gutted when it was taken over by Absolute. I mean of all the stations!

Hopefully, I'll still be able to pick up PR in Cardiff. If not, I may as well chuck my DAB radio in the bin

Yep, Cardiff has a transmitter. Thanks for signing!

I have 6 DABs now, I won the 6th last week and it's not even been taken out of the box

I get it

I lost Planet Rock recently but got it back by doing a Full System Reset. That is not just a basic auto-tune but completely changing the frequency (or something).

I am not sure if it the same issue as the OP is referring to but to fully retune my DAB radio, I had to hold down the Info (or Select) button for a few seconds and then scroll through the channel frequencies until I found the new one.

This is the page I followed to retune. http://www.getdigitalradio.com/dab-news/retune

I got both Planet Rock and Absolute 80s back (i'm in the west midlands btw).

Got Planet Rock going from online via their app from an old tablet hooked in to my hifi. It seems to have disappeared completely from the list of stations in my part of Scotland.

You can play it without signing-up so all is reasonably good there - Only the sound quality is pretty poor compared to DAB or off my phone on a 5Ghz connection.

Also when doing this, I found quite a few apps for more online Rock stations, some are atrocious/vey poor sound quality but a few look/sound positive, so PR may be shooting themselves in the foot with the retune as listeners find more competition.
