BBC World Service..

Featured Replies

I thought you may like to know this if you listen to the BBC World Service in your Yeti.. :o

"The BBC is ceasing its 648 kHz transmissions of World Service English language radio on 27 March, 2011.

We have had to make some difficult decisions about the distribution of BBC World Service radio around the world, as a result of the Spending Review settlement that BBC World Service received at the end of 2010.

Closure of the 648 kHz service and medium wave frequencies to Russia, continues the process of withdrawing from direct broadcasts to Europe in response to a declining number of direct listeners.

However BBC World Service continues to be available in Europe by satellite, cable and online.

In the UK it is available on dedicated channels across the whole of the UK on DAB, online and on all digital TV platforms. This is in addition to overnight transmissions of BBC World Service on Radio 4 frequencies."

Not in a Skoda with a Columbus SatNav.....there is no DAB option (nor any sign of one)......

I don't think that there's a DAB option with any of the entertainment units offered by Skoda is there?

Looks as if I'll have to transfer my Highway to the Yeti.

No, Skoda don't offer a DAB option in any of their radios despite the same units in VWs having a DAB tuner option. They seem to be unable to offer DAB for another year at least, and as I don't fancy having to reconnect a Pure Highway each time I use a car (or leave it in full view for any passing lowlife to remove for me) I'm begiining to think the only option is to throw the Skoda radio away and fit a replacement. Can a VW unit be fitted instead? Or are we forced to fit a JVC DAB radio?
