My decorator...
...has a DAB radio - woo hoo!
I am not a convert to DAB - I nearly only ever listen to Radio 4 and have it on in many rooms at once on multiple radios so would have to change all of them to DAB to keep everything in sync. I don't understand the push for DAB over FM - yes it is supposed to go up to 20kHz but I'm not listening in a silent environment and my hearing rolls off at 13k...could they not cram the metadata* into the RDS part of the signal? (I really ought to know the correct terminology here)
[*station name, frequency, programme, song title - what else do I need - I'll watch TV if I want pictures]
I don't see the need for great numbers of radio stations - I'd prefer a narrow choice of quality rather than a wide choice of crap.
