Poor performance of DAB radio

I have recently taken delivery of a new Ford Kuga Titanium. It is fitted as standard with a DAB radio, but I am finding I have no signal a large proportion of the time (say 15%) in the area where I live Ceredigion, West Wales.

It is so bad that the radio is simply unfit for purpose. Any comments, advise, etc. would be much appreciated?

The problem is less likely to be the radio than the area. You may be able to find out more about DAB reception here: www.ukdigitalradio.com/coverage/postcodesearch/
