I am looking to buy a DAB radio to listen through my PC.

Does anyone have one and what do they think of it?

I am mainly interested in recording late night programmes and listening to them during the day

Cheers

I'm not too up on DAB technology, but why would you want a DAB radio through your PC, when they are thousands upon thousands of radio stations that you can listen to online.

I thought DAB radios were simply another way to reach radio stations in the UK in good quality sound - I didn't think you could record shows on them?

You might be better off with Podcasts - which are shows created for iPod users. These can be downloaded from the iTunes software every time a new podcast you have subscribed to is launched.

I subscribe to five podcasts, which are aired for around 1-2 hours a day, and when I want to listen to them I just turn on the iPod and listen to the podcast show.

I hear what you are saying, but I am looking for something a bit more stable. I already listen to one or two podcasts and they are great for what they are.

If I am uploading or downlaoding anything whilst listening to an online radio station the sound goes all jumpy etc.

I am hoping a dedicated radio wont be affected by bandwidth useage.

All the BBC's listen again links are excellent.
