Especially this one:

http://www.climaxdigital.co.uk/epages/BT3449.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT3449/Products/111160

I have one, beased on the realtek chip, and this one should be the same.

What software can play with FM & DAB/DAB+??

Thanks,
Marc

Didn't think DAB was available as a computer add-on (?)

That appears to be DRM on HF - I was thinking of DAB, the VHF digital
radio system.

Do you already have a working USB DAB stick? If so, you should be able to
get hold of the software you need from the manufacturer's website. If not,
you'll need a receiver of some sort to pick up the DAB signal. However there
aren't many (or any?) of them around and the closest you'll get is probably
something that picks up the radio channels on Freeview, or a standalone DAB
radio connected to the line in on your computer. There are a couple on eBay
but most are FM only.

I didn't know such a stick was available. i have digital radio via
Win-TV 7, but that's not the same thing.

I was thinking of something you connected to a Band-3 aerial and listened
to DAB radio on your computer via the USB.

Thanks, Tony. Not quite sure if this stick does real DAB or just
Freeview radio (or both). If it does real DAB then it's a bargain.
I've emailed the seller for full details/
