Alarm Indoor
Why such a difference with DAB radio reception?
I have an old, basic radio alarm in my first floor bedroom (short wire type aerial hangs from it) which wakes me every day with good FM sound. In the downstairs diner I have a modern midi system which has DAB, FM etc. Basic indoor aerial but better that the alarm clock's.
Can someone tell me why the DAB often sounds like it's being transmitted underwater, occasionally falls silent for no apparent reason and the FM signals that reach my radio alarm with no problem are so bad on the new system I can't listen to them?
Thanks Philip - both pieces of equipment are Sony; I do have a Home Hub close to the DAB radio (WiFi) - doh! Hadn't even crossed my mind.
Thanks Fork - I used your link; apparently I'm only 'fairly likely' to receive any channels, so signal strength here isn't too good anyway. I've yet to move the radio and will be trying that over the weekend.
An FM signal is still listenable if the signal quality drops a little. Unfortunately with DAB, the signal is either there or not.
Check the coverage of DAB in your area on this website - http://www.ukdigitalradio.com/coverage/postcodesearch/
Try moving your radio - test out different positions in the room, preferably near a window. If that fails, then you may need to install an external aerial.
I would not worry about DAB though, it is NOT the future trust me!
