    They had a few "Magicbox Parabola" Dab/fm radions for €10 in Mahon this morning for anyone interested.

    Sure you tuned it in right? Mine said that until I went through the manual and did a full scan properly.

    This is the most up to date Coverage map I could find.

    Was going to rush to my nearest Tesco but that coverage map tells me any time in the next 5 years will be soon enough :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,346 ✭✭✭nc6000


    Even if you can't get any DAB stations it still works very well as an FM radio.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭ei9go


    It's pathetic that RTE never put a DAB transmitter on Mount Leinster.

    But have a look at this if you are in the South East area.

    None of these DAB radios on good deals in Tesco Millfield, Balbriggan.

    Absolutely ludicrous. And the South East is also not covered by 4FM. Most peculiar.

    Got one of the Philips ones in Paul Street today. There was one left on the shelf after mine. It was marked €14, but scanned at €10.

    There was a yellow tag for this on the shelf but no stock left.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,853 ✭✭✭bromley52


    I imagine these will only be useful as FM receivers when DAB+ comes on-line which is probably the reason they are being sold off. That being said, for €10 it's a handy size.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,130 ✭✭✭gussieg


    Apparently they eat through batteries. I got one in Lucan last night there was one pure for 14, and teknika portable little un for 7. That only takes two triple As.
