DAB Performance of different makes?

Really? So why does my £25 Sony ICF-703L sound better than my Pure
Evoke-1??

Given your claimed knowledge of DAB radio, just why did you buy a
portable?


I wanted to know what all the fuss was about the Evoke-1. I'd heard
deleriously happy reviews of it, and I bought it for £40 new from
Argos, so I was going to re-sell it, but I've not got round to it.

But surely you would have known that no matter how good the receiver
it couldn't get round the problems of a seriously flawed system?


Do you have a problem reading, or something? I gave perfectly valid
reasons for buying it. I've just re-read exactly what I wrote
originally. Re-read it yourself. That's why I bought it. Another reason
was that I felt I should own a DAB portable radio so that I could
comment from experience. If you've not noticed, I write a website about
digital radio.

David, if you're just intent on wasting my time, then I'm going to have
to put you in my killfile. You do enjoy winding me up, and it's people
like that that I put in the killfile.

Actually, fk it, I'll put you in now to save reading your nonsense.

See ya.

*plonk*

Yes, but it in a group that's meant for digital television....

And Stevie-boy doesn't understand the meaning of the word "debate"
anyway.


After having decided to put Dave Plowman in my killfile, I think you
have all the hallmarks of someone that's becoming overly obsessed with
me and is an extremely bitter individual (very lilely due to having low
self-esteem -- I don't have this problem, being a narcissist) that likes
nothing less than to follow me around and wind me up. Therefore, you're
going in too.

See ya.

Imagine my dismay?

Golly! The final resort of the perpetual loser. I'd bet he didn't really
plonk anyone anyway - most people who do so pretend to do so, they can't
really resist hearing people talk about them in any terms, irrespective
of what's being said. I guess he hit the nail on the head with the
narcissist comment, somehow he thinks that's a good thing, sadly.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black ! Never mind 'rant-boy',
soon you will have no one but your most loyal follows to talk to if
you carry on kill-filing people who merely disagree with your
views...

Well, I dunno, this has been a pretty long thread - perhaps I was
wrong about the debating, 'coz he obviously likes a mass debate :~)

Look, I've put you in my killfile. Get the message. If you continue to
try and circumvent my killfile filter then I will have no other option
than to send a short email to .

Since you have now said the above I can reconfirm that you are jumping
to the wrong conclusion, and misunderstanding what I have been saying.


As I said previously, I feel your original post was ambiguously worded,
so try and accept some responsibility for what you've written rather
than blaming me for mis-interpreting somethign that you've written which
WAS ambiguous. If that is okay with you?

I accept that is what you feel.

Does anyone else think that what I have been saying was unclear and
"ambiguously worded"? My impression thus far is that others have understood
what I have written, but maybe I am wrong...


[snip]

Try and take some responsibility for what you've written rather than
passing the blame onto the reader.

Anyway, there's 2 main DAB module/IC designers: Frontier-Silicon and
Radioscape, and they probably account for over 95% of all DAB
modules/ICs shipped in products today.


snip the rest

You seem to have snipped the (third) explanation I gave where I dealt with
what you'd quoted (seven times) from what I'd said. From the tone of your
response it does look like you still misunderstand it, I'm afraid.


Actually, I emailed you yesterday with a request for some information
that's important to something I'm currently doing. So, if I'm going to
provide you with a load of information then I think it's only fair that
you provide me with the information that you've said you've already got
and that I need.

I haven't actually been asking you for a "load of information". I have been
trying to ask if anyone can supply evidence for the points I have been
raising - but having to also spend some effort on trying to clear up your
repeated misunderstandings what I wrote. However I think I can now conclude
that I need not try again.

I did, however, ask for some info on one thing you said as it seemed to me
that the basis of what you stated might be interesting. However you have
snipped the posting without even referring to that. Hence I don't know
what evidence you have.

I'd still be interested in evidence relating to the questions I asked,
however it looks like relevant info is scarce.

Once you've sent me the info I'll reply to the rest of your post.

Don't worry. I think I can live happily enough without it. :-)

TBH I suspect that those reading this thread can make up their own minds
about which of us they would be inclined to agree with w.r.t what we have
been discussing, and about you snipping most of what I wrote above.
So I am happy for people to draw their own conclusions...


Slainte,

Jim

You are quite correct. No doubt someone will have to start posting as
"Digital TV looks worse than analogue", LOL..... ;-)



Well since you mention it... I've always been disappointed by the
appearance of the pitch on digital transmission of football matches.
The smeared-together greens are, in my subjective opinion, the
single worst digital artifact. Not that I would go back to fuzzy,
speckled, narrow-vision.
I'm hoping that HD will give us our grass back.
