DAB

Does anyone still buy DAB radios? I remember when DAB first came out I had a DAB radio in the car and it got a good selection of high quality stations (high quality in reception sense, not necessarily content). My current car also has DAB but I find today that both the number of decent stations has diminished and the reception quality is absolutely appalling. Most of the stations are copies of the FM stations and the FM stations are much better reception wise as they don't constantly try to retune every 100 yards. For this simple reason I couldn't justify buying a DAB radio for the home, especially as I can stream to my surround sound from my phone and just get the apps for the stations that I like and stream them over the internet.
