I'm pretty sure, and someone will surely confirm, that when I bought mine last year I was told that only the BBC stations would be turned off and that even that was several years ago.  I rarely listen to BBC stations so I bought a NAT05XS anyway.

I picked a NAT05 XS at a stealing price on the teutonic bay a few years ago and hooked it on the cable network. I eventually added HL, HC-DR and PL. A marvel I listen to as often as I can each and every evening and very early in the morning, just in case the FM band would disappear by 2024.  :ghee:

I'm picking up a flatcap XS tomorrow, mainly to power my Stageline, but will also hook it up to the Nat05 and see if it makes any difference there too

I had mine on FC2x for a while. It went with the usual upside of the FlatCap. A more relaxed and airy presentation, more details and layering as well. I sometimes found it too relaxed. This is why I eventually went for HC-DR a year ago. I have two ferrites on the new 75 Ohm Hirschmann Fekab 9 4G (LTE)-Proof antenna cable to the wall. It took case of the last RFIs.:)
