OT NTL digital STB additional use

dave wrote: NTL changes my analogue stb for a digital one yesterday. All works fine(!). I esp. like having the radio channels on there with good quality sound - but it's a pity have to have the TV on to listen to it. To my question... Is there a way to get the (radio channels) sound from these STB radio channels to another room somehow? Is there a way for have eg a 2nd tv (or some black-box) hooked up to this new stb (radio link or cable)? I don't want to get a dabs radio as have heard that the signal quality is rarely as good as it could be as bandwidth is reduced because of demand for channel space If you're happy with the sound quality of the radio channels as heard through your TV, DAB will sound just fine. -- *We have enough youth, how about a fountain of Smart?

Not really. AFAIK DAB is off-air broadcast so have to compete with many other
stations. NTL run dedicated cable. Also I believe DAB runs different bitrates on different channels becuase of bandwidth limitations. I don't have any comparable figures. But it's not the same problem for them. Anyone here actually know? That'd be interesting. Http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk Might give you the info what you need.... -- Tony Sayer |

I didn't actually say I was happy with it - but compared to my ancient drifting trannie it's much better. The TV does have quad speakers although I am well aware that speakers in a TV is no way hi quality sound. DAB wil NOT be just fine for me if the bandwidth of the transmission bandwidth varies with the programme. Nice theory but you really need to try it out first rather than just rejecting it out of hand. I know many people who are happy with it compared to a 'drifting trannie'. I only use it for R3 and R4 at different times of the day on a very expensive system and it sounds ok. Agreed some of the pop channels sound crap but then they do on FM or DTTV as well due to the processing before the transmitter. What the public wants, apparently. -- *Many hamsters only blink one eye at a time * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
