...i use the sky box as that is not bitrate restricted....

I find that very hard to believe given how much they compress the tv signals to force more channels into a multiplex...

surelly all those people with wax cylinders said the same when 78's came about. then 78's to 33's, to cd's to mp3's , vcr to dvd , gas lights to electric.

you can choose your preference for one over the other but is this not just technological evolution consistent with the onward march of time?

That may well be true, but they could continue using their old technology until such time that they wanted to upgrade - with the DAB system that is not an option as it replaces the old technology and we are left with equipment that we can no longer use.

From what i`ve read you will still be able to use your old radio to recieve very local stations, so it will still be of use.

Misterfish's point is very valid.

And in any case....have you heard the cr*p from those local stations! Radio equivalent of tweeting :shock:

I don't think you would be saying that if your local radio was Radio Stoke! :roll:
