I understand they're changing the standard or something soon too and rendering the first generation of DAB radios obsolete.
Yes, I'd heard that too - they want to use a newer digital encoding protocol that'll let them put out more bandwidth (so either more stations, and/or better quality per station) on one transmitter. AIUI both old and new sets will still get the stations currently on-air, but eventually all the old sets will be scrap when all the stations have changed over to the newer protocol.

Absolutely.
