CheckDTV.com breaks down the digital broadcasts available in your area
Building on the database that powers AntennaWeb showing people where to point for the best reception, TitanTV has launched CheckDTV.com to show just what's on the air where you are. With just a zip code or full street address you can get a complete list of all the digital channels broadcasting around you. Good idea to check that before hitting rescan to make sure you're getting everything you should, of course, we'd probably like to see updated analog shutoff dates when/if those are available for each station affected.
Roberts Radio Robi DABs up your iPod
Look, if you absolutely, positively must get some DAB into your iPod lifestyle, then you'll probably be somewhat interested in the Robi -- a new tuner from Roberts Radio which lets you pipe in smooth digital broadcasts via your regular old player. There really aren't a lot of plusses here; for £49.99 (or $100) you get a DAB tuner that also does double duty as a remote. Does this second function justify the cost? Probably not, considering all those extra cables and unsightly middleman, but if you've got a bad desire for digital radio, you could do a lot worse (you could also consider players with built in DAB functionality). Available now, it would appear.[Via Crave]
Hands-on with the Philips PVD1075 portable DVB-T player
If you're in Europe or Asia (or anywhere that has DVB broadcasts, for that matter), and in the market for a portable DVB-T solution, we suppose you could do a lot worse than the Philips PVD1075; a sleek, skinny package which does a whole bunch of media playing. At a glance, the little guy doesn't seem like too much of a heavy hitter, and honestly, the screen didn't blow us away, but if this fits your lifestyle (and we're not sure what that lifestyle is), then perhaps you should take a much, much closer look -- like in our gallery, for instance.%Gallery-6714%
