    Why hasn't broadband made DAB redundant by now? Seems like it should have.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

      Perhaps because it's hard to get in your car
      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

      I preferred version 1!

        I have both, and I do find that the DAB doesn't have to buffer all the time. The internet radio is always buffering about. Depends on your speed of course: I get 500k, like quite a lot of people I know.

          Perhaps the govt should instigate an analogue radio scrapage scheme.
          (To get the headlines they could market it as a tranny scrapage scheme!)

            OI!

            Don't you think we have enough problems?
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                  It is if they want to transmit it that way. But if they cut the bitrates to squeeze in more stations on the same multiplex, then they are robbing Peter to pay Paul.

                  They could have more multiplexes, of course. That would cost money, though.

                    DAB to become the main digital radio platform -- Internet radio to be killed off at birth
