DAB Radios now available at Argos (in store) for under £20, but be quick!

To be fair it should be better - your freeview box is using a big ariel on your roof whereas your DAB is probably using its little built in ariel so will be weaker.

I'm sure I've heard that before, that Freeview radio is better than DAB (even before you start thinking about speaker quality). I've certainly found Freeview radio quality to be excellent - possibly even better than FM.

I don't know why people patronise PC World. Their prices for small items are horrendous! You should see what they charge for things like USB leads! Four times as much as you can get them for in Tesco's! All in all, I have found that supermarkets and even small local firms have far more competitive prices for most items than PC world, plus no quibble guarantees! PC World won't even honour guarantees when items are under 12 months old! I had a terrible struggle with them once. They try to tell you your contract is with the manufacturer rather then themselves, which is rubbish because a customer's contract is always with the retailer - certainly for the first 12 months of the life of the item, which is what most items are guaranteed for! The Retailer's contract is with the manufacturer! I'd never buy anything from PC World now on principle! :mad:

Just be aware, it's an Alba so will probably only last a year at best.

If you can afford an extra fiver, this is worth a look, from Currys & Dixons:
