You can actually receive DAB BBC stations? I live/work halfway between Portsmouth and Southampton and can get the Digital One multiplex and that's it!

The BBC covers 65% of the population and are now aiming for 85% by "early 2004" (!)

At least we're getting a Capital Radio multiplex by January, which will have the BBC local station.
