Your local transmitter has probably had a retune. You'll need to tell the receiver to rescan for them.

Have a look at the DAB website to see if any engineering work is underway in your area.

The TV Digital switchover in our area caused havoc last Autumn. London is being done at present and I know my folks are complaining of odd things happening on their TV and Radio.

Seem to be getting some of those but not all. How do I tell the receiver to re-scan ?

I just wanted to let you know if you have a DAB radio in your car you may be required to retune some stations before 27th March. For more details and information on how to do this please visit
