I find it increasingly dissapointing to hear people these days saying how
DAB is so much better than FM!

Why? It can be better or worse.


I see DAB as having an element of 'the emperors new clothes'.
e.g. I had a Citroen Picasso and on the forum it was accepted that the stock
speakers where dire but the std radio/cd was quite good so all you needed to
do was fit new door speakers to improve it greatly. Someone said they hadn't
changed the speakers yet but had put in DAB radio/cd player, the next poster
said "wow, that must sound fantastic"...........

I was in Argos last week and noticed a display of lcd tvs and HDtv, they
where showing a dvd with what looked from across the room pretty good
pictures, I went over and you could then see it's a hddvd demo playing but
connected to the tv's using a single phono composite video feed, vertical
lines had the 'dot clock' running up them, yet people where standing next to
me saying " look how clear that is! we'll have to get an hd tv soon"
