DAB Programmes Missing

Where I used to have a list of now and next, I now have "No Entries".

Any ideas?

Isn't that something that the station you are tuned into broadcasts?

Is it happening on all stations or just a few?

How? I've scoured the Owners Manual and been through the menus but can't find an option to refresh/scan the DAB channels.

You might need to change the 'Ensambles' to 'All Ensambles' could be the one it's looking for is no longer available.
Under the Ensambles list should be the stations.

Yep it's not obvious, at very top of list of stations click on ensembles then top option in there is search stations.

Streaming is the future - DAB is a pain, particularly on BMW where it cuts out all too often!

Both are different topics though!

Cheers! Will pop out and have a look in a bit although I did scroll through there this morning and I could only see the existing ensembles and no search function...

The more I delve into the NBT, the more frustrating I find their menu structure! It really is pants!

DAB on my F30 is rubbish. It was much better on my Audi. It's so bad I was going to ask my dealer to look at my aerial as maybe there is a problem with it but it seems everyone else is suffering.

The TunedIn Radio app on my iPhone might a viable alternative at this rate...

MK based & DAB is fine for me here & all the surrounding area. Chap @ work has a 2007 530i & his was rubbish but I suggested retuning & it's been loads better since. He's only had the car 2 years as well lol

DAB is fine in West Midlands, however noticeable volume change between FW and DAB (as expected).

Ah LW and Radio Luxemburg.

That and using HF radio at night sitting in a Jet watching the northern lights from a North Scottish airfield, listening to multitude of channels lol, well bbc world service, American Forces Radio and another.
