I have a good tuner and the sound of DAB is absolutely dire compared
to FM.

In other words, you live in a crap FM reception area.

Reception quality is different to audio quality, and anybody who has

"It is the sheer volume of online audio content available via
internet-connected devices which terrifies the UK radio industry. I
believe that broadband-delivered radio will explode in the years to
come, offering very local, unregulated content, as well as opening a
window to the radio stations of the world." - from the Myers Report
