DAB Radio Improvements

Overall I’ve been impressed with the Bug, and although I’d got full strength on the Digital1 stations, the BBC stations were a bit hit and miss, and as I’m a keen listener of Radio 1, 2 & 4, I was a bit disappointed.

I got some improvement by moving my DECT phone base station to the other side of the room, then as I have a Freeview PVR, I thought I’s plu into the rooftop Aerial and see what happened.

Wow, what a difference this made.  Now I have 98% signal strength for all of the BBC channels, and my channel count increased from 18 to 50!!!  I can now get many stations from London (some 50 miles away).

A quick trip to Maplins got me a couple of satellite cables with F connectors, a F splitter and a  couple of fittings to convert the F type cable into a conventional coax plug.

This cost about £20 in all, but its worth it, and I don’t have to worry about the BBC channels dropping out now.

Result.
