For some reason springtime is always DAB Digital Radio time. Maybe it's simply a matter of moving away from the TV that we've been hunched over all winter? The dark flicker in the corner of a room replaced by a more airy light feeling that comes with spring cleaning, cooking or gardening.

Whatever, it's a real shame that DAB Digital Radio never caught on like Digital TV did. The reception (as long as you are in a good area) is better and there are many channels that just aren't available otherwise. I particularly like BBC Radio 4 Extra.

Most radio fans who do not take up DAB, or just listen to it on-line, cite poor reception as the main reason. Yet there are steps you can take. If you receive any kind of signal at all you can take steps to improve matters: http://www.beststuff.co.uk/store/DAB-Digital-Radio-Aerials/

Our single best-selling product last month was the simple SLx indoor DAB aerial at £12.99.
