No it is NOT the plan. Analogue TV switchoff is NOTHING to do with FM

TV is going digital over the next year or so, mine goes next month. But

yet.

No it isn't. 2015 was merely an aspiration and they have made it clear
that it isn't supposed to happen until DAB coverage equals FM
coverage.
There is no way they are going to achieve that in the near future.

Do most affordable home internet plans in the UK have download limits?
In the US, most broadcast radio stations can be streamed and most plans
don't have download limits. From a marketing perspective, there may be
more an issue of the familiarity/technical capability of users to make

I own SB players specifically to avoid AM/FM, I'd guess this is more the

But I can understand others wanting such a tuner, especially if

PS Ref ISP bandwidth, if you're listening to the BBC live, they

Well it doesn't have a DAB tuner, because then you'd need at least two
models as DAB doesn't exist in the US.
Your bandwidth would be fine streaming three Radios, unless you have a
