Does anyone have one of thoes talking DAB digital radios? Does it tell you the station your on?
This is just my opinion, coming from someone in the radio industry mind you. Digital radio is not here to stay for long. Regular radio is grasping at anything they can to get people to stop switching to online audio or ssatellite radio. Give it 2 years tops...just my 2 cent that is though.
Not necessarily. We're due to switch Analogue radio off completely, region by region, starting, well, quite soon here in the UK. I have a talking Dab radio and it does tell you what station you're on when you press the tune button which is also the dial you rotate to select the different stations. It will say "you are listening to, BBC7, Talksport, Smash Hits, Jazz FM or whatever you're tuned in to at the time. As you click round the dial, it will say which station you'll select if you press the button.

sory, I should have pointed out, yes DAB has been a big hit in the u.k. and other parts of Europe. But when it comes to north america no. Big corporate whores like clear channel and cbs radio want to shove it down everyone's throat and establish it in a couple of months. It doesn't work. DAB has been in palce in the uk for like...5 or 6 years now, and they went about it right.
Yes i have a DAB radio. it tells you what station you are listening to. the only thing it does not talk. but i like mine. before i go di also think that digital is to take over very soon.
Yes i do agree i think digital is taking over. To be honest i was kinda disappointed when i got my DAB as when they were advitised it says that you will get cristal clear recepsion but that is not the case, however i do like DABS as you can get stations that you can't on a analogue radio
with talk about increasing royalty rates and stuff I think that digital radio will brecome even more popular.
At least with digital radio you don't have to pay for monthly subscriptions and all that though you don't all that satellite has to ofer either.
Yeah, that's true. You can listen to virtually any satellite station you want on the telly.

Well i think DAB radios are good but to me onist i dont use one now i have got sky and i dont need one. i have thought about getting an iportable one but i have heard that they are not grate so there you have it
I have a talking d a b radio and some stations are vcrackly but most are very good quality and crystal clear. i haven't got sky, so kind of needed one of these radios and my freeview signal isn't all that good. i highly recommend one.
