Just an aside. Anyone tried DAB+ in Gauteng? I am in the process of getting a receiver but apparently it’s already being broadcast and pretty much all major Gauteng radio stations are available.

I’m exited to see the day when FM is phased out as well. I think cars need to start coming with DAB+ compatible radios first.

Just bought an AMO unit, but I can't get it to pick up any signal at all. Using an external antenna. Reception on the analogue TV is marginal for the SABC channels but quite good for eTV. So there is some signal coming in.

However, when doing the AMO terrestrial channel search I get absolutely nothing. The little signal and quality bars on the bottom RHS of the screen both show zero%. The channel by channel search ends up with an 'X' on each channel. So clearly not finding even a hint of a signal.

Any thoughts? Could this be a dud unit, or an antenna problem? I'm in Paulshof, north of the high point of hill. Not sure if this is a known poor reception area. But in any case, I'd have thought I'd get something, given the eTV signal is pretty OK on analogue.

Appreciate any thoughts on this.

My amonet decoder keeps saying "No Program found" in the end after searching and finding over 50 channels using amplified antenna.... What could be the cause do I need to get satellite....

How can I source the frequencies for the Western Cape., used by the digital decoder.

Any dvb t2 capable TV will find them when scanning. The decoders are for the older tvs, and aimed at the lowest income groups.
