Mick, As you know....Me n''er have a DAB receiver in our separates system. Up until now I haven't had the chance to get an antenna sorted for it...Now...Just a thought (forgive me if I am stupid on this...but I know little about radio of any sort) but is it possible to connect the receiver to the TV aerial which is in the loft via the wall socket? Question is also open to other takers - Ta! gcw |

Connect the receiver to the next-door's power supply and put a magnet on your own meter. Easy. |

Helpdesk is a bit slow today... "Please continue to hold; we value your custom..." ...aaaaaaaaand we're back from our night away! I think you should have some luck with a tv aerial, as the frequencies DAB uses overlap (I believe) with tv ones. An FM aerial is no good at all as the band on that is much lower than the DAB one. Try it and see, mate - the worst that'll happen is that you'll only receive some rather than all the stations. |

We met up with some friends we see every three months or so and went to a murder mystery evening thingy in a(n) hotel in deepest Sussex, and stayed over with one couple at their house in Eastbourne... |
