Digital Audio Broadcasting.

The freesat launch is an admission by the authority that significant parts of the UK will never be able to receive digital TV broadcasting over their TV aerials. Whilst these locations, (over 10% of the population) can currently get perfectly adequate analogue TV, once the grand switch off (sorry switch to digital) is completed they will receive at best terrible TV from these aerials.(This process has recently been accelerated due officially to customer demand or possibly the governments thirst for cash?). Now they are trying to force the same thing on audio receivers. These new digital audio receivers (DAB) are being forced onto an unwitting public. Currently most people get a maximum of 21 stations on DAB, 11 of which are BBC and 3 of which have recently ceased transmitting. Bearing in mind the number of people with car radios that will be disabled by the process, the poor choices and the better quality offered by the Internet surely its time to confine DAB radios to the attic, together with Betamax VCR's and 8-Track players.
