I`d be very wary of this model as it suffers from a variety of faults.

1. Sound fades
2. Poor display, that sometimes fails
3. Total failure

It also has only 4 presets and is fiddly to operate.

So Emperordalek - total failure - apart from that it seems a cracking buy - best avoided ? It got a decent review here :-

I think I`ll wait.

I paid £387.98 for a dab Technics tuner a couple of years ago.

I regret it due to the low bit rates being used on some stations including mono broadcasting on some too.

This deal though is a terrific buy & I highly recommend it.

A good deal for the money

Yes I am told the stations are better on Freeview, so get a box with a digital out and your away (provided your signal is good enough)

The Freeview stations should be available on a normal DAB tuner.

The best selection from a Digital Box is obtainable from Sky Digital though - although they don`t include Kiss FM as Freeview does curiously.

What we really want is a portable MP3 player sized DAB to listen to while on the move. I think there is a Ministry Of Sound version coming out soon.

All in all, this offer is very reasonable but I would wait as there should be more sets coming out soon.
