Shows how wasteful analogue transmission is

You can't compare digital (DAB) radio with digital tv..FM should never be replaced but the BBC should vacate most of their frequencies to DAB - how about that ??!
It urks me that the beeb hog most of the FM band so this is why we have such a limited choice of stations compared with other European countries
If you look on you tube on various FM bandscans you'll see a totally different sounding station every 0.5Mhz at least right from 87.5 to 108 mhz
Something we will never enjoy here

Btw I was meaning FM bandscans from other countries obviously ie one from Sofia in Bulgaria was very varied ;-)
Yes all we have now are mostly networks now - the heart stations are dreadful, I was pleased that for a long long time Radio Mercury in Crawley was still independant from other hearts but eventually my worse fears was realized yes it had had the 'stepford' treatment ! A great different sounding station now yet another b***** heart station...being an FM-DXer it makes ID'ing impossible also !!

Oh right ok would be good to have another MUX on there even local community tv perhaps ?! PTV !
More HD channels would make more sense also

Yes but I thought reading that thread maybe we may get other tv services also ??

OK thanks for explaining...after March it will interesting to see how many point to Whitehawk from Patcham or even IOW perhaps to get all MUx's, but many houses I see don't even bother with an antenna now...

This is good then I guess but we still need another micro region covering at least Sussex only... if not just Brighton to Worthing say...now this woulde be local !

Surely the transmission will be mpeg4 to future proof the channel ??
What about coverage of local events like the Brighton Festival etc, if the channel is so hard up this will never happen
I think a 1hr news slot early evening would give alternative viewing but then so few care I think

So only 14w when Patcham goesdigital...how can this be enough compared to 69w analogue where portable reception is not great with me at the moment
Will there be any testing before March 7th ??
