Sold by Vodaphone so hoping it will be of decent quality, if it is good then I'm thinking about using it in the car via aux cable and usb chager.

Or save yourself a tenner. Download tunein radio for your smartphone, and listen to radio from all over the UK and globally and use your phones built in alarm.

Got my replacement today, good customer service and good DAB radio.

Received two today.
1.Clock doesn't update to current time if you switch off and on and press Standby too quickly. They then start from 00:00 permanently. So I think they will not do Daylight Savings switchover properly.
2.If you switch off and on, your alarm settings are forgotten.
Can you others double check?
As DAB, its OK. As alarm, it sucks.
Sigh.

My DAB radio arrived today and for the price I really can't complain. Sound is ok. DAB works well and build quality is of a good standard

I take it you'll stop assuming this or that WILL happen until it does ?
Sony/LG/Samsung already have many items manufactured in different countries and have been for 20 years. BUT they are very careful of where and by who.
Image, you know.
UNLIKE Panasonic - who I gather are hurriedly trying to repair the damage to theirs, by insisting it was only a small selection at the bottom end of the market.
I dare say people like yourself agreed with the decision by Coca Cola bosses to change the taste of Coke ("New Coke") in the 80s that blew up so disastrously in their faces as "Everyone will be doing it" ?

It's only a matter of time before the remaining proper manufacturers do the same. There's no money in the budget end of the market any more. I take it you'll stop buying Sony, LG and Samsung in due course as well?

Paul, rather than paying for a data connection whilst travelling I personal would use fm if no dab signal.
Mifi and data subs still sledgehammer approach rather than buying a £10 radio

75% of the electricals in my house are Sony. And my phone is a Sony Xperia Z2 so I'd say I'm more than up to speed on Sony
And they're fine. But don't get carried away that they're better than Roberts in this regard.

I'd say that was a bit pompous, but if thats your level of conversation how would you know any better ?
Let them eat cake, eh ? And ever heard of MORE than one prezzie for Xmas ? There are "fillers" and "Main prezzie" too. This is the former. A filler, by the way. But some families wouldn't even have this.But I'll not go into a political rant. :stuck_out_tongue:
Curious: So how much do you spend on your wife/girlfriend every year ?
I've been married many years, and my kids are now in their own houses and have their own cars etc. So clearly spending a couple of grand at Christmas for wife/girlfriend perhaps isn't the way ?

4 Nov 15#47
Actually no, lots of rural areas can't receive dab transmissions but the phone cellular signal is very often strong.
A cheap £20 mifi will also be handy in their motorhome for internet browsing plus if they have a contract phone plan that includes data they will not even need a mifi.
Remember my reply was to someone who wanted to receive dab out in the sticks and not us townies.

I was just about to order too, price rise means I won't. Their loss.

For motorhome use you would be better buying a mifi device and using tunein radio.
Even with a week phone signal it would work with a radio app.

Ordered 2 - one for me, one for the stepdad. Only after using it as a DAB radio/receiver for my sound system to which it seams good at ( alarm clock function being main issue it seams ) really can't argue at the price - only complete chinese DAB radios being cheaper and kitsound do make some fantastic audio equipment for the price - i have a boomdock which is rated 5/5 by a lot of audio websites. Shame they didn't quite nail their usual success formula with this revive - probably why they are so cheap.

The Pixi Minis are badly made. Treacle slow reaction volume controls and other issues. I would not give those to OAPs. Confusing. But the bigger brother here might be more solid.

This is one of those annoying deals where I'm tempted even though I don't need one. Radios are useless to me unless they have DAB due to the stations I listen to, so I may just buy this as a travel radio. Hmmm...

Cant comment on the product but just want to warn people that vodafones ebay store are useless.
I was in the market for a portable DAB radio to listen to the footy on a matchday but the kitsound radio that arrived had a broken ariel. Ive gone through the refund/exchange process and havent heard a dickie bird. Just as bad as there phone shops in terms of service.

Still less than half the price at Amazon, so happy to accept some shortfalls for the price. Ordered two

yh just saw it, but they are selling for £20+ and i guess for a tenner you can't go wrong. Sound quality will be better if i plug it into my speakers, basically a cheap DAB receiver.
