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. :-)

Did you listen to any of the Proms via the XHQ 320k stream?

I'm curious to know if anyone else heard 'gaps' at times - particularly if
they occured at the same times I heard them. Not yet clear to me why they
occurred.

Slainte,

Jim
