I have a good tuner and the sound on DAB is fine. Better by far than
the hissy FM I used to get, even with a very good external FM
aerial. I gave my FM tuner away.

FM isn't being switched off. National networks are being transferred
to DAB (+ DVB etc etc) and FM re-allocated to local 'community' radio.

There's no way I would sign - the faster we switch the better.
