"Trevor Harris: ... and the easiest way to get people to stop using FM is to tell them you're going to switch it off."
That would not be a vote winner at the next general election.

"The signal is excellent on these specialist jazz and Christian stations as they have their processing just right I can listen to the music I love"
Sorry but I try to listens to UCB but always end up turning it off do to poor QUAULITY of the audio on music.
I'm told they operate on minimum bandwidth.

Have heard the Dutch have ditched DAB and all DAB sets like ours now useless and they gone onto DAB+ and new sets required to be bought.

"DAB accounts for 65% of all digital listening, and almost a quarter of all listening."
Hard to believe that, I did not realise they could measure number listening.

Yes MikeB but on FM we could tell the difference from the AM sound.
Same with radio via satellite and Freeview.
DAB is very obviously poor sound and strange stereo.

The TV News coverage on TV seems to only feature SNP Government and pro being a separate country.
Where is the voice of those in Scotland wanting to stay in the UK?
Are we getting a biased News coverage or are the vast majority in favour of leaving the UK?

Recently been in my two Currys/PCWorld stores and they no longer demonstrate TV sets from Terrestrial transmissions. One sales man told me only internet could be done in addition to the lack lustre animations and what ever was going through their system which was making all TV sets appear to be same quality.
I'm concerned if the internet is the way we are going will the internet be able to cope or fall over as it can now on Saturday nights sometimes.

I think the Freeview chap on TV news as just said that 90% of viewers use terrestrial.
Hard to believe that the remaining 10% would include Cable, Sky, Freeview etc. viewers.

" @ David
All of these transmitters are capable of using DAB+ when the time is right for the BBC to switch. The Netherlands has now fully switched to DAB+, and Germany has awarded more local DAB+ licences today. "
Think it means a new radio set though and with the slow take up of DAB sets now would that go down well with Joe Public?
