You can't leave us hanging on a cliff-hanger like that !!

Not about the quality, ummmm, perhaps just a single HD channel running at 34
Mb/s, but showing a compilation of BBC, ITV, C4 and 5 HD programmes for just 4
hours per night ?

In 4:3?

In monochrome? It would be great for all those moody old films.

My guess is Broadcasts of Parliament and Parliamentary Committees.
After all, in order for us to see the detail with which hon and rt hon
Members scrutinise legislation we need resolution of at least, oh, 4x4

Probably a DAB radio with an built in FM transmitter. A bit of a bodge
really, but it would allow people to listen to DAB on a system that has FM.

I'm surprised that you hounds haven't leapt upon this and devoured it. Go to
the 47 minute point and marvel at the sheer bloody cheek of the bloke,
telling the most outrageous lies about DAB and FM. A total morass of
misinformation. What the chuff is a '£25 adaptor'?

They tackled the problem of sound quality in the way they often do. By
becomming very vague, providing a bit of meaningless waffle, and then
mentioning that the coverage will be improved.

It looks very unlikely that they will ever actually admit that DAB
provides poor sound quality.

these certainly exist for cars: "Pure Highway" for instance.

I don't know what else it was on about, but when your google is
unbroken you'll see a few adaptors at / under the 25 quid mark:

Yes we all know about them. But the bloke was making out that they provided
a universal and perfect solution for anyone who has a DAB-less radio, which
is ********. I was listening on a £150 kitchen radio/CD player, which has
excellent audio quality, but no aux inputs. I don't see how a DAB adaptor
could connect to that radio, and even if it could it would be more clutter
that I don't won't and it would sound crap. It was very misleading for the
non-techy listener. It's a pity that woman who interviewed him wasn't more
clued up, because she just didn't know what to ask to expose his bollockery.
Or maybe that was the idea.

What do you mean by 'when your google is unbroken'? Are you trying to be
funny? In any case, 'unbroken' is a silly word.


Well, but it was a silly question, wasn't it? If you'd already decided
it couldn't be the obvious answer because of assumptions you'd made
about the mans intentions combined with a detailed knowledge of your
own personal radio equipment and intolerance for clutter, it's a pity
you didn't give anyone a hint that was the case.

I'd agree the adaptors are a bit **** and wouldn't have one in the
house, but it's impossible for me to know that you know about them and
feel the same way.

If you "knew all about them", you'd know that the adaptors remodulate the
received DAB station onto a spare FM channel.
