So I have a new Roberts Stream 93i arriving tomorrow to replace my ageing Pure Bug DAB. Obviously I'm pretty sure all DAB stations will have Internet streams, so my question one is : which of the two will be the better quality?
My second question is regarding the aerial. I discovered, like the 93i, that my Bug also has a screw-off aerial, exposing a female F Connection. I have a relatively new loft aerial with a hard connection in my office, and a spare wall connection, so I tested with the Bug, knocked up a quick F terminated cable, and I'm getting 100% signal strength on the radio. Am I ok to do this with the 93i too? I'm not somehow 'losing' stations by using the TV aerial, or is it just that the aerial and the copper cable between it and the radio is enough to pick up the DAB signal in the aether?
Just wanting to make sure I understand the mechanics of it.
This is my aerial, in case those in the know need to see it
I think this is a '5 bay x-beam' aerial. which I don't read particularly good things about, but on the TVs all around the house, I've got 92% signal strength, and 100% signal quality, so I must be in a pretty high signal area!!
