How to listen on DAB digital radio

You need a new radio to receive DAB digital radio. Your existing set will not decode digital signals unless it carries the DAB logo (standing for Digital Audio Broadcasting).

Analogue sets (i.e. FM/AM) often have a digital display or tuner but this isn't the same and doesn't mean they can receive DAB digital radio.

DAB digital radio sets are available through hi-fi and car audio dealers, high street retailers and department stores and online retailers. For more information see our digital radio website.
