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.Originally posted by VectraMan View PostWhy hasn't broadband made DAB redundant by now?

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.Originally posted by zeitghostAnd of course DAB is "CD quality"
Not at that bit rate it ain't.
They could have more multiplexes, of course. That would cost money, though.Step outside posh boyComment
