ah very interesting and thank god I raised it here!
I thought the aerial on top of my house picks up both, as on my TV when I run a full tuning scan at some point my TV picks up all the radio channels as well. Usually they are placed at the end of the range e.g. channel 980 to 999. Just a black screen but with all the radio channels. Where are these signals then coming from?
Edit:
Doing some quick google search >>
In the UK, most standard TVs do not have built-in DAB/FM radio tuners, but they offer digital radio stations through Freeview (DVB-T2), which includes over 50 stations
I am guessing my TV is just getting these digital radio stations through Freeview, as my TV has a tuner inbuilt. That's basically all I want to play in my kitchen, but in a clean wall mounted setup. I don't intend to have a TV in my kitchen, but perhaps future proofing is still worthwhile the work. Need to reconsider my plans. I guess what is clear is that connecting the aerial coax cable to a device that accept DAB/FM is a non-starter!
