My recently bought Denon Hifi has a DAB radio ….

The DAB aerial it came with is basically rubbish....unless you live in strong DAB signal strength area, I guess.

On a search of DAB stations, it didnt find many and the ones it did find kept cutting out.....the local radio station was the only one that seemed ok, but that cut out occassionly.... 

So i bought a DAB aerial for it .... A Vivanco TVA 200 ....

Well impressed 

On a search of stations with the new aerial connected, it found 51 DAB stations and everyone plays fine 

Its also suppose to be an aerial for TV and PC ... tho i havent tried it on that, so carnt comment....


So if you have a DAB radio and its a bit rubbish on channels/reception and can connect an external aerial, I would recommend this one

Amazing how a car, like wifey's astra, can get such a good DAB signal, when one supplied with a hifi can't.

Er,, because her car isn't under several layers of roof-tiles, felt, insulation, plasterboard, plaster, paint, carpet......  shall I go on? 


I don't understand the need for DAB/DAB+ or FM/AM Radio when at home/office.  A few years ago, the internet was invented.  Plenty of stations on there, and they aren't running at a piss-poor 50kbps. Horrible, horrible sound.  I really hope DAB dies the death it should have done years ago.
