-Driving through Sweden from the Svinesund border crossing to the Øresund bridge last year, we definitely had DAB coverage for parts of the trip, but not all - definitely around Gothenburg and Malmö, I believe reception lasted quite a way out into the suburbs along the E6 highway.

Wow, I had no idea :)

and you would not. it's just radio, and doesn't look any different. you likely listened to digital radio a lot, without knowing it.

How do you mean? If I tune in to the FM band then it’s analog, no?

no. you tune it to your regular fm band on your radio. if you have a digital receiver, which is almost any car in the last decade+, it'll do digital. you won't even know it.

in fact, most of these people here defending analog have been using digital for years. this conversation however is not about fm. the switch to digital there was a long time ago. it's about am, whose ship is sailing now.

You are talking about HD Radio, which is quite different from DAB/DAB+ used in Europe.

No, FM has not widely switched over to digital yet in the UK and Europe in general. Which is exactly the topic under discussion in the article...
