As is FM radio, prat. Where did I say that FM radio wasn't lowpass filtered down to about 15 kHz? I didn't. Now let me see. What's your name again? So it's not unreasonable that when you make such a comment about digital radio and TV you are excluding your beloved FM? Yes, it is unreasonable, because the quality of sound of FM does not depend on FM having a wider audio bandwidth than DAB. -- Steve - www.digitalradiotech.co.uk - Digital Radio News & Info Find the cheapest Freeview, DAB & MP3 Player Prices: http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/fr..._receivers.htm http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/da...tal_radios.htm http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/mp...rs_1GB-5GB.htm http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/mp...e_capacity.htm

I wouldn't mind a small DAB radio and cost isn't really a issue but they all look ugly and old-fashioned. Modern hi-tech gadget and they make it look like something from the 1960s. Why is that? There is the "Bug" or whatever it's called. The one that was designed by Wayne Hemingway. Stewart Took a look at that and its too whacky for me. Yesterday did see £50 Bush DAB in Netto. Didn't look too bad but was far too big, hardly portable.

Simply put, DAB does sound significantly worse than FM, so if you're happy with the stations that you listen to at the moment then there's no point in getting DAB. Also, the audio quality of the radio stations on the digital TV platforms are also higher than they are on DAB because the bit rates they use are higher, and it's the bit rate that is the main determinant of audio quality. So, as you're on a digital TV newsgroup I assume you've got digital TV of one variety or another, so you'd be better off connecting the output of a digital TV set-top box to your hi-fi system, because that'll sound better than DAB. To see what's available on the digital TV platforms see he http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/in...bit_rate_table Digital satellite is the best digital TV platform both in terms of audio quality and choice of stations. -- Steve - www.digitalradiotech.co.uk - Digital Radio News & Info Find the cheapest Freeview, DAB & MP3 Player Prices: http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/fr..._receivers.htm http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/da...tal_radios.htm http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/mp...rs_1GB-5GB.htm http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/mp...e_capacity.htm

I do listen to radio via Freeview and Sky as the FM reception is poor here since my big FM aerial fell off the roof. Its not very convenient though in the bathroom, although there are spare cables under the bath that I could wire a speaker to; which could also be used as a tannoy for bathroom hoggers :-)
