Does this mean that we will have lots of channels of poor quality showing endless repeats?Quote:
And the technology offers radio lovers the same explosion of choice that TV viewers have embraced so wholeheartedly
It's no surprise either that manufacturers of digital radio are backing the governments plans. In our household we have 2 cars both with analogue radios and 2 good quality radios indoors. How much will it cost me to replace these perfectly good devices and why the hell should I have too?
Once again it's government deciding "what the people want"
:rant:
Well that's kindof the point - it's not the government doing squat until the majority of the public have already switched to digital. And as much as I agree with you on all this decent equipment becoming useless, at the end of the day it's going to happen and it might as well be sooner so people don't still go out and buy expensive equipment with a short lifespan. :)
the switch over should be 10 years or more most cars still use FM not dab (new cars as well) even then they really have to make it Law that all car makers must use DAB/FM radios or run into the issue that cars in 10 years will still only have FM only
