Not sure if I am previous in mentioning this. But IIUC the BBC are now
announcing that they plan to make the XHQ 320kb/s stream permanently
available as 'HD Radio' for Radio 3 listeners to the iPlayer.


The BBC spokesman on R4 PM yesterday said it involved a complete new route
from source to listener. I find this very hard to believe. They played a
clip on PM in 'normal and HD' which Eddie Mair said was like night and
day. ;-) I was in the workshop - so only listening casually, albeit on a
reasonable system fed from FreeView, and did think the HD clip had better
ambience. But perhaps just the power of suggestion...
