 Wohnort's symbol for DAB+  Wohnort's symbol for Band III DAB+ tests have taken place on an experimental ensemble in Brighton. The BBC announced that it would conduct tests of DAB+ during 2014. Ofcom has announced that broadcasters on a forthcoming second national commercial multiplex will be free to use DAB+ if they wish, subject to a maximum of 30% of the ensemble's capacity. Generally, however, broadcasting in the UK still uses "original-flavour" DAB transmitted in Band III. A "tick mark" is to be launched this year as a marketing tool to signify receivers that meet a certain minimum specification. DAB+ capability is expected to be one of the requirements for the tick mark. Wohnort recommends, now more than ever, that you should consider buying a receiver that is DAB+ capable even if you never plan to take it out of the country with you. Such a receiver should also be more future-proof than one which only receives DAB.

Herts Beds Bucks
The UK regulator Ofcom has approved the separation of the areas covered by the ensemble HBB & Northants. The current ensemble will continue as Herts Beds Bucks and will be transmitted on Block 10D only. A new ensemble, expected to be labelled Northamptonshire, will be transmitted on Block 10C. On each ensemble, the BBC service for the other area will be removed. On Northamptonshire, Heart Northants and Smooth Northants will replace the current 4 Counties versions, whose SIds will continue to be broadcast for an interim period with "Please Retune" labels. A temporary audio service Engineer is expected to be broadcast on both ensembles and carry a looped announcement describing the changes.

Tuning to Block 10D
The frequency allocated to Herts, Beds and Bucks lies outside the range of the seven blocks used during the initial UK DAB roll-out. Some older radios may not include Block 10D in their automatic scans. In this case, select the option "Full Scan" in the receiver's menus.

Northamptonshire
The UK regulator Ofcom has approved the separation of the areas covered by the ensemble HBB & Northants. The current ensemble will continue as Herts Beds Bucks and will be transmitted on Block 10D only. A new ensemble, expected to be labelled Northamptonshire, will be transmitted on Block 10C. On each ensemble, the BBC service for the other area will be removed. On Northamptonshire, Heart Northants and Smooth Northants will replace the current 4 Counties versions, whose SIds will continue to be broadcast for an interim period with "Please Retune" labels. A temporary audio service Engineer is expected to be broadcast on both ensembles and carry a looped announcement describing the changes.

The frequency allocated to Northamptonshire lies outside the range of the seven blocks used during the initial UK DAB roll-out. Some older radios may not include Block 10C in their automatic scans.

During 2010, the BBC ran a trial where Radio Foyle existed as a service on the multiplex. During most of the broadcast day, both Radio Foyle and Radio Ulster would point to a common audio stream. The services only existed as individual streams during certain Radio Foyle programmes.

Minimuxes


 
The UK regulator is to develop plans for the implementation and licensing of small-scale DAB. A low-power trial was run in Brighton during the Autumn of 2012 that demonstrated the feasibility of using software-defined solutions for coding and multiplexing. Ofcom is currently consulting on its plans and intends to invite applications for further trials in 10 areas (more than originally announced) in Spring 2015, with transmissions beginning in the Summer. Ofcom will report to government in mid-2016 at the conclusion of the trials and make recommendations on a licensing framework. Licences will be listed here by area when announced.
