If they do cancel the overseas streams I vote we mirror all the main bbc stations output to mp3 and bitorrent the lot.
Wack a couple of servers running freeview cards on constant record, cutup the files by show time, seed and enjoy.
I actually do this but with http for recording certain shows to listen to on my mp3 player while abroad, no worries about dodgy connections, nice resumable download.
There isn't going to be a mass switchover to DAB until the big BBC stations go digital only, which will probably be the *last* thing to happen, not the first. Until then why would you spend more money on a DAB radio that gets you a load of extra stations but you won't listen to any of them because A) they're crap B) they're filled with adverts and C) you only really listen to radio1 anyway. There isn't any good reasons to do it full stop.
