Yep. Y'see, DAB should be the answer for you

Even easier to use than an analogue radio, CD-quality sound, perfect reception.

But - I assume it's failing foul of the urge among producers and geeks to integrate every single bit of digital equipment in our houses.

So you the upside - you only need one big hard drive to do everything you want (tv, radio, computer, films on demand etc)

But on the downside - you've got to be an uber-geek to actually get anything to work.
