DAB radio

[mandimoo]

weve only had it a week, and last night it just went silent, like someone had pulled the plug, only we hadnt. we tried to rescan the channels and all it said was 'not available' did something happen and is this normal? cos i thought dab was supposed to be reliable. cos i thought dab was reliable and i am thinking of taking it back?

most modern electronics is made in china and built down to a price not up to a standard. take it back.

I know DAB radios are particularly heavy on juice, so if you were using it on batteries, they may have just flattened.

I have a DAB too and for some reason every morning it goes silent for 30 seconds or so before coming back on again. The only reason I can think of is its over heating and it needs a cooling down period.

[maviscoull]

ours does that too. i just switch it off at the wall and on again then its ok,

[kwicky]

Yes I often get this. It must be down to these digital transmissions. I suppose they will say we need a rooftop aerial to receive a decent broadcast.

We have 3 DABs the others don't switch off just teh one.

Digital transmissions are a time bomb waiting to off! I can't get Freeview where I am nor can countless others. What happens to us and others all over the country when analogue gets switched off? Even my car radio won't work then! I think it's a big con trick!
