FM is capable of giving excellent results..


Indeed. Alas, it may require rather more that just "a good FM aerial and
tuner". As with digital transmissions you seem to overlook other factors
which affect the situation when comparing results. :-)

The problem is that many systems are 'capable' of giving excellent results,
but the list of conditions that have to be met in practice for this to be
the case may be longer than you take into account above.


While we are on the subject, do you happen to know the scheme used for
audio on HDTV (via satellite)? When they improved the video resolution I
don't suppose they improved the audio too - or is that too much to hope for?

Cheers
