Digital Radios...

[sandyRoe]

I've a digital radio which has a fuzzy sound to it. I've moved it to different locations in the house with no improvement. Do they generally produce a cleaner sound than the type of radios they replaced?
I'm aware that the problem may be with my ears rather than the radio.

98% of all UK DAB stations transmit audio with a bit rate of 128kbps, which many critics say isn't high enough for good audio quality. So that might be the cause of your problem:

However it could just be a problem with your particular radio (or, as you say, with your ears!), as many (most?) people find the audio quality of DAB signals perfectly adequate for their needs.

Mine will only work in one small area of our apartment and it eats batteries you have to run on mains

Digital radios in my house have never been that good, reception-wise.
I ditched them in favour of internet radio...23,000 stations from all over the world...radio fans heaven!

We have two; one upstairs and one downstairs. Both are excellent except that the downstairs one often cuts off for a few seconds and then retunes. It could be the location, or it could be the quality of the machine. We live in west London, so I don't know what it's like elsewhere. (The good one is Roberts, the iffy one is Pure).

A few months ago I wanted one for the kitchen. (For my wife).
Bought a radio from Asda.
Got it home and realised I had bought just a normal FM radio.
Took it back to exchange it.
Young guy on the counter asked why I wanted to exchange it.
I told him I didn't like the music coming out of it!
You should have seen his face :-)

I took mine back, Theland, and the Curry man asked me what the problem with it was and how much it cost me - "It's the lousy reception, a tenna I think"......his face was priceless.
