DAB radio in india

[dvasanth]

Do we have DAB broadcast in india or is it possible to receive BBC dab in india?
I believe DAB has enough bandwidth to broadcast HD content.

As of now I don't think that its available in India, but who knows someday it might be available.

I am moving for a few months to Singapore, and then travelling through India for another couple of months, and was wondering if there is any point in taking my DAB radio with me! I bought my radio fairly recently in the UK if that makes any difference. I expect that these countries have at least some radio stations in English, so doubt that is a problem, but wonder if either of them broadcast the digital signals at all.

There is only All India Radio broadcasting its digital (test) signal, from the tower located at Khampur near Delhi, for a limited duration every day. The digital radio format chosen by Indian Government is DRM+. So, unless your DAB receiver is also DRM+ enabled, carrying a DAB receiver along in India, is of no use.

I have recently purchased DAB Radio from UK through my relative. But i am using it only for FM radio now. Hope There is no progress of providing DAB in india

I was a big fan of World Space Satellite Radio, but finally, when I was in a position to buy one, they shut down their service.

 

[snappysam]

Exactly the same situation with me.
When World Space Radio came out in India, I was a student and found the concept very appealing. Those sleek looking (in those days) receivers made me want to buy one of those when I stared earning. Alas, it was not to be.

No, Akashavani cannot be received in a DAB radio. DRM is available in some of the car stereos and DRM radios for home use is hardly available and expensive.

can i hear akashvani in DAB DAB+ radio (roberts)

I think India did not adopt DAB or rather dropped it for DRM.

Streamers with built in Internet radio do this. I can access BBC stations, VOA et al on the Cambridge CXN.

I was a worldspace user back in the day. When they closed, my radio world came crashing down as local FM radio content has never been my cup of tea. Then one day, my son suggested that I download the tune-in app on my phone and I have been able to re-live my worldspace days, ever since, albeit via a different medium (tracking the worldspace satellite with a roof-top yagi antenna and receiving both the Asiastar and Afristar services at home in Trivandrum, was really a thrill for me). With tune-in, I have the option to listen to (in high quality) the good old broadcast radio channels like Voice of America, BBC, Radio Australia, Srilanka Broadcasting Corporation, etc and also to genre specific channels like Hard Rock Heaven, Rock Antenne, Country 104.9 and a lot more, while going for my morning walks and runs (4.15a to 5.30a IST)

Worldspace is something that I miss even today. There were one marathi channel 'Surabhi', that used to play songs that are not available anywhere in apple or spotify services. There were two other channels 'Shruti' and 'Gandharv' on Carnatic and Hindustani classical. Those two channels are also something I miss today.

Although I am from Hyd, in 1999 joined GE in Gurgaon and took my parents to famous himalayan hotspots..badri..kedar..dalhousie..manali..etc. We used to hire a car from Gurgaon and I took my hitachi worldspace which I guess was the cheapest one and used to play it in the vehicle..somehow managing to keep the antenna outside the window.....fun days they were
