DAB receivers have hit the under £50 mark--so I bought one in Tesco yesterday.
It's neat once you've mastered the controls. The reception's fine, better in FM than any of our other radios (bar the digital feed to the TV) and far clearer--for speech--in DAB than anything we have.

* I could retrieve other videos from the loft, but we've finally acquired this year's batch (clutch?) of starlings in the roof and I'm loath to disturb them.
