Does anyone on Accyweb own a Digital Audio Broadcast radio.

I am looking to buy a DAB radio, and would like peoples opinions of them before splashing the cash. I listen to 6Music on the BBC website when I am on my laptop and also 5Live Sports Extra occaisionally. I want to listen to a choice of radio stations without listening to the cooling fans on the computer.

I have heard that the sound quality is not as good as Fm transmission, so I don't know how it would sound listening via a pair of headphones.

Having done a search to acertain which radio stations we are able to receive in the Accrington area, it seems there are more stations to listen via to DAB, that suffer from poor reception on the Fm and Am wavebands.

Can anyone help me with advice, or voice their experiences.
