We've now got 3 digital radios.
The latest is the free package with cable TV & is very easy to use - no problems.
The others are are very difficult to use - scrolling through 70+ stations to find what we're looking for is very tedious. The favourite setting system stopped working as soon as the guarantee ran out.
The battery demand is so high that they only last a day or so. My old radios last months.
Result - set one preferred digital station, & switch over to FM to find other stations. And keep it on mains.

It may be me being thick, but I haven't quite grasped the need for digital radio.
What does it do that is different from a standard radio?

I can add another minus, it does not work in our house. We have a problem with digital radio and mobile phones in the house.
I tend to listen to stuff online if I really want to listen to the radio. |
