I've never understood why anyone would choose to listen to Radio 1 so I
can't comment on that. I seldom listen to Radio 2 either - and would use
DAB if I did. But apart from poor reception (which is often worse now
than it used to be thanks to the profusion of licensed and pirate stations
in what used to be a nearly empty VHF waveband), I'm pretty sure even the
analogue stations now get digitised and compressed material, which will
never sound as good as genuine analogue.

You saying that the BBC sets very high standards is yet another
ridiculous thing you've said.


That's something to be glad about, I think.


Yeah, it's absolutely fantastic. I'm over teh moon about the BBC's
performance.

Do try not to confuse technology with the content. Content is
/programmes/, not codecs or transmitters. Anyone trying to compete with
the BBC has access to exactly the same technology, but finding programmes
to equal what the BBC produce is what defeats commercial competitors.


Well seeing they have the licence fee behind them that shouldn't be too
difficult

They could up the rates on satellite so as to get rid of that metallic
audio on 192 K this would cost them bugger all and then they'd match
other European broadcasters.

DAB can then be consigned to clock radios and the like;!...
