FM also allows for a further split. This means that we can provide coverage for when Huddersfield Town, Bradford City, and Leeds United are all playing at the same time. This FAQ details the various ways of listening when more than one team is playing concurrently.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>These are the various ways of listening to football commentary:</span></span></span></p> <ul><li><span><span><span>FM</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>Freeview (Channel 719)</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>DAB 11B</span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span>DAB 12D</span></span></span></li> </ul><p><span><span><span>11B and 12D are different DAB frequencies (similar to how a radio station on FM can be on more than one frequency). 11B has greater coverage around Bradford City while 12D has better coverage in other locations.

However, should you be getting poor reception from an internal aerial and you have tried extending tilting and swivelling the aerial and this does not improve your reception. You may need to consider an external aerial to offer you the best reception; this should be on the roof or high up on the outside of the building.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> </div> <span><span lang="" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span>25 October 2019</span> Fri, 25 Oct 2019 18:25:02 +0000 Anonymous 5464 at http://bbc-reception.local http://bbc-reception.local/questions/dab-radio/what-is-causing-my-dab-radio-to-sound-like-a-kettle-boiling <span>What is causing my DAB radio to sound like a kettle boiling?</span> <div class="field--name-body"><p><span><span><span><span><span><span>There are a number of reasons why this effect can be heard and usually not linked to interference.
