[The sound quality of the UK's current DAB, with its low bit-rates and obsolete MP2 codec, is worse than FM.]

Mike is worried about losing access to FM radio and would like to know how he can continue to enjoy his hi-fi in the future

My local radio on dab is terrible, I have to have it on f.m most of the time which is bad if they split frequencies for football games. I have to do make do with a.m then.
