"DAB sounds worse than FM" wrote


snip good stuff - note taken


Not so good again today - summat's not right with FM hereaboots. It's been
like it for a month or so, so it's nowt to do with the P'bro mast.

I'm not ruling out DAB at this stage but I don't think I want a Freeview box
if it's going to be a pain to use. Is there any chance that DAB
transmissions will ever improve in the future?? (OK, thought not.....)


Why don't you use your PC for recording? Miles better than using SD cards
IMO.


Those SD card are not expensive any more (my camera uses them) - I could see
myself using them like tapes and the radio has a timer all built in.
Depending on the bitrate you get about a minute per Meg - ie I hour prog on
a 64 card. The trouble with using the PC (perfectly doable - all ready to
go) is that you have to, er, use the PC....!!! Ie not too convenient - once
you've recorded a programme you can play it like a CD (jab a button to go,
pause, stop....)

We'll see.... :-)
