(remark: it was always only a test broadcast with a few stations and only in Budapest)
A lot going on in Hungary! Thank you, Balazs!
IMHO the use of DAB/DRM radio is starting to be quite useless. Everything is moving to or is already online. The internet providers are offering unlimited plans for better prices (in eastern Europe especially the plans are cheaper – but that’s because people purchasing power). I don’t see any reason of spending money on a DAB / DRM radio, when you can listen online worldwide almost every station, in high quality mode at every time.
