I may be being thick here. How can I listen to London radio stations in my car when I am in Sussex ? Is there a solution ?

Thanks

Their is no real way with a conventional radio if you are out of range of the London stations.

DAB broadcasts some London stations outside of the London Area. Go to this postcode checker and see if the London radio stations you want are available;

The Best bet is to buy is to buy an in car Digital DAB radio. Either an adaptor like these;

or a full unit, like these at the bottom of this page;

Hope this helps.

Actually, and disappointingly, it only looks like you can get London stations XFM, Capital Gold, and Capital Life in Brighton. But if you are nearer to London than that, you may get more.

Thanks Headtime, what about some sort of signal booster or special aerial ?
I don't think that will work for conventional radio, as I think frequencies are allotted quite specifically for different geographical areas. But I may be wrong. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will post a reply.
