Encompass uses FM for national and local broadcasting in the 88-108 MHz band. FM radio is capable of delivering high quality, stereo audio as well as associated program related data.

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a digital radio standard widely used in the UK, Europe and many other countries. Encompass helps broadcasts from conventional terrestrial transmission masts much like FM, and providing similar coverage. DAB can also provide additional on-screen information about program content or other data provided by the broadcaster, delivering a more efficient listening experience.
