okthen : Try Google with "DAB coverage":

www.uk-dab.info/coverage.html looks a likely candidate.

You can obviously use audio out to line in on your computer sound system, and if I remember rightly (I'm at work, the DAB tuner's at home) there's an S/PDIF output too on my Cambridge Audio DAB tuner (dirt cheap from Richer Sounds), so if you're lucky enough to have a sound card with S/PDIF in you can go digitally into your computer with no D-A/A-D degradation or extra noise introduced.

A good plan is to see if you can find someone who has one of those portable DAB radios. I borrowed one from a colleague, and quickly found that while reception was a bit patchy downstairs, upstairs by a window it was perfect, so I went ahead with external antenna next to said window and it worked a treat as expected.

Also I discovered that Richer Sounds (bless 'em) would quite happily let me have a DAB receiver for a week or two to try it out, and take it back for a full refund if reception wasn't good enough.
