DAB sounds worse than FM dab.is@dead wrote:
Nothing to do with technology? Transmission costs on DAB are as

as they are precisely because the technology is very inefficient.

Can you not understand that the FIXED multiplex transmission
costs
being shared by say 30 stations is gonig to lead to lower
transmission
costs than if they're shared between 10 stations?

That will be why FM costs are lower then...


FM is totally irrelevant. You just say things for the sake of it,
don't you. You put absolutely no thought in to whatever you say,
and
you just go straight for the gob off.

Not so. You give the impression transmissions fees bear some
relation to
the actual costs. You're wrong.


Digital One charges over £1m per annum to carry a stereo station. So
how much would you say the transmission costs would be for Digital
One?

decision ever made in the history of UK broadcasting:
