Re: Wrong way round
Considering the rest of Europe went DAB+ some time ago most DAB hardware on sale has been DAB+ compatible for some time. Many radios sold as DAB in the UK actually support DAB+ too but the manufacturers don't include it in the specs. The only nuisance is that some manufacturers disable DAB+ in software for the UK market.
I expect that they will stop that practice now and companies like PURE will probably offer firmware upgrades to enable DAB+. They already offered that for people who bought their PURE set in the UK and then moved to the continent or Australia.
Besides, all the new cars that come with DAB radios (an estimated 2 million this year) actually also support DAB+.
Now there will finally be a DAB+ station in the air there is no excuse for manufacturers to not support or advertise it.
