HI George, A concession has just been announced that Freeview, satellite and cable boxes used without TV sets do not need a TV license, so some at least must have an audio output. My cable box certainly does and I think my old Net Gem did.

If so, you are rather limited in terms of digital stations, plus it needs to go through your TV.

I have the Ariel so can I just plug it in or does it need an amp or video. My dab radio has just died on me and i am considering my options.. I've looked at the stuff from cobalt in terms of radios and tried the nib but can not get through yet as they maybe having water problems or what ever. so can I use the preview box on it's own. i havn't bought one yet. sincerely Joe.
