DAB Traffic Announcements

I've been using the DAB radio in the mornings since January and it only seems to pick up traffic announcements from Classic FM (which are too general and not very helpful, as they're not localised).

Changed back to FM this morning, received many more.

Is this another issue with DAB?

I have DAB in my new 535; I imagine it's the identical tuner, so I'll check it over the next few days and let you know.

Think I may have sorted it - there seems to be some sort of filter set up in the traffic announcement settings (had a very long, boring drive home this evening).

Glad you found a fix - can you let me know where in case I experience similar problems?
I haven't driven my car since last posting - it's in the garage for a couple of days.
