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...

It sounded good on the FM radio in the car while driving home. :-)
