paul, the Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 So does anyone know if DAB+ is still in the pipeline. It's the only reason I hadn't bought a player yet. from 'pedia [quote]An upgraded version of the system has now been developed, called DAB+. The new standard, the full details of which were published in 2007, is not backward-compatible with the original standard. The vast majority of existing DAB receivers and those on sale in the shops will not be able to receive DAB+ radio services when they are launched; however, a range of DAB+-upgradeable receivers are now available in the shops. Several countries are expected to launch DAB+ broadcasts over the next few years, including the UK,[5] Australia, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Malta, and podcast services using the DAB+ format will be launched in the UK in 2008.[6] There is also a great deal of interest in using DAB+ in Asian countries, such as China.[/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Have you all found on Sky, channel 260 'Rock 0n TV' ? looks like it's tied into Planet Rock.... Great channel if you like YES, Rick Wakeman & Deep Purple (which I do) as they tend to repeat things alot... It could grow into something bigger !!!!

Paul Cooke Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 when are they supposed to be pulling the plug on FM radio then? That's the biggest problem DAB has to fight against... oh and apparently, the UK has the worst bitrate in the world on DAB and most UK DAB stations are only in mono as a result.
