Sigh. The majority of radio listening is on some form of portable or
mobile receiver. Satellite simply isn't suitable for this. Nor is FM
ideal...

Yes I know that.. it was just to point out that digital platforms both
TV and Radio could be very much better but that the broadcasters see
that quantity over quality is far more important!...

Commercial broadcasters survive by selling advertising. If there was this
great demand for high quality surely one would fulfil that gap? But I
repeat the fact that when DAB used a higher data rate the take up was poor.

Conkers.. like any new tech the initial take up is poor 'cos the gear
costs too much at first..

Not that this was "new" tech....

BTW, you missed out FreeView as a source of radio. Cheap hardware and most
have the necessary aerial already in place.

Indeed 'tho you can't carry it around with you;!...
