So far my DAB has rocked... ok i really only listen to 1 or two station, but not dropped out yet! (Apart from once going under a bridge!)
Mine has been good too, no dropouts yet.
I will be starting my run to the office next week so fingers crossed Capital FM works all the way from home to work and back.  :cool:

Mine works fine too, although I mainly listen to National stations rather than regional ones.

6 Music or Radio 2.  Only really drops out occasionally depending on where you are, I think they handle it well though it just fades out rather than that annoying "squelching" you get with DAB interference

it would seen only the bbc world service station broadcasts in a higher rate than other stations and that's why we get the large logo on screen. all the other stations are broadcasting in a really low rate.

I've completely and utterly given up trying to get the logo's to upload and work on the head unit :angry:

Just resigned to looking at empty grey boxes for each channel :whistle:

How far have you got?  Have you managed to download the zipped folder to your desktop, unzipped the folder and been able to view the contents?
