Depending where you are you may be able to just get a telescopic aerial or similar. May not be great reception if you're in a big block of flats.
Internet radio is probably the same quality as the Ipad. They're both probably the same or slightly better quality than the digital radio though (from what I remember DAB bandwidth isn't particularly high and uses a pretty dated codec) depending on how you connect to the amp (if you're using analogue connections the receiver is probably better).
Back in the day the recommendation was that the best quality was through a Freeview box as the bandwidth there was higher (I ended up doing that for a while as Freeview boxes were a fair bit cheaper than DAB receivers).

I bought my wife a separate DAB receiver as she want's to listen to six music and doesn't want to stream it from he iPad anymore.
In my infinite wisdom I didn't realize / think that my building doesn't have an external aerial and it would need one.
Has anyone had any success running something like this with a ribbon aerial stuck to the window?
Failing that would an 'internet radio' stream in higher quality than the ipad? I'm sort of interested myself as then I could listen to WFMU.
We are in n17, if location has an inpact on digital signal...
