Apart from the DAB specification itself, this is the closest thing to a DAB Bible that you will find. The book is now in its third edition and has been updated to include recent developments such as DMB and DAB+. Checkout digicomparison's Digital Radio page for more detailed reading about various digital radio systems, including DAB.
The laws of physics!
The laws of physics don't change just because it's "digital". Whether you're receiving DAB or DMB, indoors or outdoors, the only way to ensure good reliable reception is to feed your receiver with a good signal. If you're using a small portable receiver with a telescopic antenna, then your options are limited. You'll need to find the position in your home that produces the strongest signal. Your home is a breeding ground for clicks and splats. Most refrigerators, freezers, airconditioning units, water heaters, washing machines, etc. can produce substantial amounts of radio interference as they switch themselves on an off. But if you have a receiver with a socket for an antenna, then resist the temptation to connect it to a wire coat hanger and get yourself a good outdoor antenna. Not only will you find a stronger signal up there, but it will be further away from the sources of all those nasty "splats".
When comparing internet retailers, remember to include the cost of delivery in your calculations.
Retailers with low headline prices can often have higher delivery charges. Price comparison websites usually list the lowest headline price first, but the best deal may be lower down the list.
Denon
A Japanese company since 1939. Merged with Marantz in 2002 to form the D&M Holdings. The Denon name is associated with high-quality professional and consumer audio equipment and is also a record label.
Computer battery used as clock backup battery in the Sonoro Cubo DAB+ receiver and also used in the receiver's remote control. So you need two! Might be an idea to keep at least one spare battery in the house.
