RE: BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Radio stations face analogue axe
Hi TJ, I listen to BBC radio 2 and Radio 4 during the day and I have FM tuned to these stations all over the house. Unfortunately, with DAB whilst I can have the radios tuned to the same stations there are great delays and not the same continuous flow of entertainment. Also I understand that DAB is to be reduced to a bit rate of 112 and many stations are in mono. I think we should keep FM as it works and scrap DAB.

Re: BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Radio stations face analogue axe
I wonder when small HD TV's will be coming out? I know few want 13-inch or smaller TV's besides people like me that don't often have sighted people over.
