The message
from Ian Stirling contains these words:

Hopefully, quality will be quite good, as bitrate is much less
expensive.

At the moment much of it is bloody awful. R4 gets the scrag end of
what's left over after R3's pedants have had the lion's share.

OTOH, my wife loves her Pure Evoke II to pieces, and it's on R4
for most of the day.

I shall be deeply ****ed off if the format of DAB changes and it
no longer works; it wasn't cheap.

However, if it's at a time 10 years in the future, when a cheap 'new' DAB
set is a tenner, and there is little premium over FM, I suspect you'd be
less bothered.

Ah, if that's the timescale you're talking about, you'd be right.

Yes, and if SWMBO likes listening to Geordie Ruth and all is peaceful
it would be churlish to deny that ;-)
