Default hd radio

Do you actually use Google?

Look up hd radio and see what I mean. Also Digital Radio Mondi'l, ( cant
spell it) but it it existed as drm befor Microsoftw hijacked the term.

I actually heard it back years ago at an exhibition.

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.
