So, after asking a simple question in the tv group, I thought i'd ask
here, why did we go dab, and what of DRM and HD Radio, any chance of these
coming to us?

I thought "DRM" stood for "Digital Rights Management". What has that to do
with radio? And I've never heard of "HD" radio, the term is essentially
meaningless, it sounds like someone trying to jump on the HDTV bandwagon.

Why did we go DAB? Well "DAB" simply stands for "Digital Audio Broadcasting"
so the term applies to *any* form of digital "radio". Why did we go for the
system we have? At the time it was adopted it was felt to be a good
compromise between quality and cost that's why.
