Wohnort's symbol for 'original-flavour' DAB

DAB+ tests have taken place on an experimental ensemble in Brighton. Generally, however, broadcasting in the UK uses "original-flavour" DAB transmitted in Band III. While it was proposed that some new multiplexes would use DAB+ for downloadable podcasts, it is likely to be a while before mainstream broadcasting is able to switch to DAB+, in spite of the cost savings for broadcasters that such a change could produce, because of the large number of original-flavour receivers already in use. The situation is made somewhat more difficult by the refusal of certain receiver manufacturers to sell their UK models with their inherent DAB+ capabilities enabled. The manufacturers say this is because those capabilities are not required in the UK, but not including them just happens to save the manufacturers having to pay the licences. This also has the result that a "UK specification" receiver will not work in an increasing number of other countries. The fact that test transmissions are now taking place demonstrates that nothing stays the same forever. And UK operators are now beginning to talk about DAB+. Arqiva stated in June 2013 "more and more radios on sale – and being fitted in new cars – are now DAB+ ready. This will mean radio stations beginning to opt for DAB+ in future, giving even greater choice to the listener." Wohnort recommends, now more than ever, that you should consider buying a receiver that is DAB+ capable if you are likely to want to take it out of the country with you. Such a receiver should also be more future-proof than one which only receives DAB.

In an appendix to the licence advertisement, Ofcom points out that the frequency corresponding to Block 10D is currently used by the Mount Leinster transmitter in the Republic of Ireland for analogue television. Consequently, Ofcom states, "it will be difficult to implement the 10D frequency over significant sections of the western part of the licence area until either Mount Leinster ceases operation, or June 2015, whichever is the earlier".
