The DAB situation here in Wales unless using Digital TV reception is virtually nil in most areas and evidently won't improve.
What a joke.
I get mine through the TV.
The mains DAB Tuners do indeed for some reason use more current than the FM/AM equivalent.
With standard fitment in cars not even starting till 2013 I see many problems ahead.
So much for saving the planet, that lot will end up in landfills you wait and see.
