You mean, you didn't have digital radio earlier? Shocked

Maybe Edgar means "in car" digital, Walter. In Britain (and Europe as well) we have had "DAB" (Digital audio band?) radios for the homes, for a year or two.
Crystal clear sound, wonderful stuff!

Er......It seems so, Ed......they started out at a horrendous price here in the UK, but have come down to about £30 for a basic one, which in Britain, can tune into fifty or so channels, ranging from BBC (many varieties of music) through to news channels, specialist stations playing only rock, or classical etc.....even a gospel channel or two.

Well- -all I can say, they gotta put something on those stations I like a little better if I'm to make that investment.

DAB while proving popular in some parts of the world like the U.K. has mostly been opposed in the States as they would like to use thier own standard (surprize surprize).

Quote:

(08/03/2005) While the Eureka 147 system has emerged as clearly superior in laboratory and field tests carried out by CEMA (Consumer and Electronics Manufacturers Association), the National Association of Broadcasters opposes the adoption of Eureka 147 in the USA. This opposition is based on lack of new spectrum; dislike of sharing transmitters in the multiplex; and concerns that DAB would introduce new competition. The USA have now developed a more limited in-band solution (originally named IBOC, In-band on-channel, but now called HD radio), utilising existing FM transmitters.

I've got it in my car (both FM and digital radio), which is excellent.
Us it at home only via cable (and thus with 'normal' radio), since we live excactly in a 'digital border region' = not always get the stotions very good. (This will change this year, though).

All over Germany, we have about one hundred radio stations broadcasting digital, it's organised statewise.

Over 285 million people around the world can receive more than 550 different DAB services. The United Kingdom was the first country to receive a wide range of radio stations via DAB, with over 50 commercial and BBC services available in London in 2001.
