Choose Option B to select from a long list of models you may already own and see if a) It's already enabled, b) If not, proceed to follow the instructions to upgrade your existing Pure radio.
From my past experience, installing the upgrade requires a computer to download the update and a USB stick and maybe a cable to install into the radio.

They haven't got the dab signal sorted properly in most places, maybe they should concentrate on that before thinking about dab+
The UK has no plans to move from DAB to DAB+
While DAB+ services are now appearing in the UK, there are no plans to switch the majority of radio broadcasting over to DAB+: not yet, anyway. There have been a lot of DAB sets sold in the UK. DAB sets are in over half of all households here, and generally we don’t replace radios as fast as any other entertainment equipment (like a TV, a set-top box, or a mobile phone). Given this, it’s unlikely that the UK will be switching to DAB+ any time soon, and there are no plans to make that change.

There seems to be one national DAB+ multiplex already, as well as the local ones in a handful of UK cities.

Nothing for my Tempus :disappointed:
Looking to replace it anyway as the display is too bright at night.
The weekday/weekend alarm function is rather nice though and difficult to find on other radios.

Really? I've got a Tempus-1 and with the brightness on the Low setting it's really dim and perfect for the bedroom.

Yes, a Tempus-1, also on low, but still find it too bright particularly during the dark winter nights.
Think they fixed it on the later models.

Pure have got 97 models! They're barmy! (But very successful). I'm happy with my Bug Too, which I got for £20 from Toys-R-Us.

Thanks. .As well as the DAB+, the FM scan has also been improved.

Same here - keeping losing reception especially with Talksport - won't be buying another as not impressed!
