Astrid,

I think what they refer to as "Digital Radio" is probably what they call
in the USA "Satellite Radio".  This enables radio stations to beam down
more information about the programs that they offer.  For example, music
stations can give you information about the name of the song playing, the
artist name, and so forth.

I believe for some of these services there is a subcription fee.  In order
to be able to receive these features you need to have a digital receiver
that is satellite enabled... I think.

Hope this helps.

YND
