Millions of DAB Radio Listeners to Be Locked out of Stations like Classic FM

I have an Internet radio.It's better by far but I still stream Boom LIght on my laptop .It's easy and local.

Technology moves so fast M

Wonder how many car owners this will affect with DAB radios fitted?

Ffs I can't get most radio stations on fm in my car. My dab is hit and miss. I'm going to have to Bluetooth it from phone to the car. I don't even know if I can get a new radio or tune it. I like the radio in the car just cos i get the news and hear different songs

Thank you. I did not know that

I remember all the promises we were made how wonderful digital tv would be. Actually it’s worse in a lot of ways as you can’t do some of the things you used to. Not everything tunes in or you get terrible clicky pixelisation.

I use an internet radio, best buy ever, 1000's of radio channels from around the world

My phone has FM radio built in and its surprising how much I use that when going for walks. It uses far less power and no data allowance of course and picks up fm signals with great quality. I also upload mp3s to the phone's own storage and even videos for watching. It's amazing how much entertainment you can get out of such a tiny mobile nowadays.

I had a tv in the past that had a button on the remote to turn off the display so you could listen to music from radio stations through the TV without the screen taking any power. You don't seem to see that feature on modern TVs. Nowadays I just use my google speaker for radio at home. It's great I just ask it to change volume, station or even tell me the news or weather and it does all that effortlessly.

Yes the mobile is another great source of music entertainment B

I have the facility to use it with bluetooth to connect to my car radio but never do , just a memory stick via usb or memory card, i have slots for both

That button you had on the tv sounds awesome , i have never heard of it before

Thats one thing put me off listening to music through the tv , the amount of power i would use , unless i was watching music videos , its a shame as i have good sound through the tv, so good i dont use the soundbar anymore

Something like that would encourage me to buy that model just for that, especially with the energy crisis, , so much for technology, the tv manufacturers have missed out on that one

Found an old thread about this , it says some tvs do just as you say

Doesn’t seem very fair really since as you said they made everyone switch over to digital a little while ago. They should do a trade in scheme for obsolete DABs
