Makes me wonder if you've ever listened to R4 on DAB. The pips are
pretty clean. Sine wave at that frequency isn't a problem even at the
sadly low kbps. But it very often is on FM - especially when reception
isn't perfect.

I gave up with the DAB tuner quite somewhile ago and now use satellite
or FM feeds for "serious" listening. Some of the European sat stuff is
excellent especially France Musique and Bayern Klassik from Germany just
a pity that old auntie BBC would stop the old DAB dogma and up her rates
on satellite which is an excellent distribution medium for Fixed use.

I mainly listen to R4 when doing things around the house, and already have
a choice of FM, DAB and FreeView audio on the distribution system. Don't
think I could be arsed adding satellite - although I could do from the
main system.

We do have a DAB receiver which is a DTV and DAB one but its hardly ever
gets used, we find the TV on Sat that bit cleaner than DTV Freeview
FWIW..

I've got an HD satellite box which also has a FreeView tuner (can upscale
both to HD parameters) - and can't say I've noticed any real differences
between the SD stuff on either. But then I may not watch the same channels
as you.

Did you ever get that odd problem with R4 sorted?..

Oh as usual it gets sorted when someone pulls their finger out.

Which they don't seeming do of their own accord as they once did..

Indeed. Seems to be a fact of life these days.
