All the reading and thinking about DAB+ ...
All the reading and thinking about DAB+ made me interested in doing DAB service scans like I scan DVB-T services. The DAB+ radio I bought does not show technical details of the found services. Something which can be hooked up to the linux laptop would be best: I could use an existing scan application to get the details I want and bring it along to interesting places (such as the very south of the Netherlands). At the moment the Terratec Noxon DAB stick looks quite promising and cheap (less than 30 euros). But, no linux driver at the moment, although some work is being done: both someone on the linux kernel mailing list reports some progress and USB-Tuner für Digitalradio DAB+ (und DVB-T) - vdr-portal.de mentions a reply from the Frauenhofer institute that a Linux driver is being worked on: ich kann Ihnen aber versichern, dass hier gewerkelt wird und es in Zukunft Linux als auch Mac Unterstützung geben wird.
