    Good news.... The DAB+ transmission is back in Centurion :D Looks like a brand new trial started, with more channels and two information services. Are we moving forward? Time will tell

    SA DAB Radio

    Well I spent the night trying to see what the problem could be. I can scan, and pickup stations, but my Roberts iStream3 is not playing any of it, whereas it was before. Not sure if it is only today, maybe they are making changes? I will monitor it. It will be concerning to me if they are...

    SA DAB Radio

    I am in Centurion and have been enjoying the DAB+ trial since I got a compatible radio. A scan this morning picked up 24 stations. It is a bit of a shame that it is taking so long to have spectrum made available to get out of the trials. I fear internet streaming radio is going to make...
