Hi nicky, I am pretty sure that you are right . Certainly at this end of the country, cork, they are no use. A friend of mine went to buy one in cork city and on enquiring if it would work where he lived he was told that yes of course it would it would get FM radio fine. He asked why they were selling this radio for something like three times the price of an equivalent straight FM radio and was told that people wanted to buy them and that they would be ready when it was possible to receive digital signals. He asked when that would be and was told with a perfectly straight face, the training of sales staff is getting better, that no one knew, but it might be soon!

I can't remember what stand it was at though. Digital radios can't be used here in the republic as far as I know.
