Title: The analogue radio switch off
Post by: Cliffo B on 02 October 2010, 10:33:29
I understand that in the not too distant future I'll lose my good old radio 2 from my ncdc 2013!! This will be intolerable especially for swmbo, will there be an alternative option say a conversion module that will allow existing radios to function even for one band only? Or is it going to be the usual Too Bad for you situation?

Its some way off, so your Omega will be baked bean tinz by then.

I suspect someone will do a DAB to FM modulator when the time comes

Haven't tried it but there are over 200 user reviews on amazon.co.uk - search for "pure horizon dab". 

The general picture seems to be pretty good except that it uses up the fag lighter socket  ::) and some folk have trouble setting up the ariel.
