Dunno, why not ask them?, is a good start.

About another 20 years is a fairly good guess....

Great! :-) I think DAB is pretty low quality, much worse sounding than FM
(apart from FM hiss, which doesn't bother me)

Dunno why people are buying digital radios. Hype & marketing I guess.

At a hundred quid a pop for a portable tranny, they must be barking.

Me neither. (But then that's just me - I also don't suffer from tape hiss or
'background or surface' noise from vinyl either. In all the cases the sonic
benefits far outweigh any so-called 'disadvantages!)

I thought my recent acquisition of a Freeview digibox would give me a)
'acceptable' (in a sonic wallpaper sort of way) 'digital radio' and b)
endless Jazz on 'Jazz FM' (FM???).

Wrong (*very* wrong) on both counts!
