Not sure.
Space shouldn't be an issue anyway? At least, that is what everyone was
being promised when the various players in the market were getting us off
analogue to digital formats.

I agree. Dab quality is so bad i would not pay more than about £50 on a
receiver. Hope it sounds better when they change to the new format. The BBC
are looking to use some of the spare space on one of the multiplexes. Will
it be so they can increase the data or to ad new stations.

Hi Steve,
I have to disagree. I have a Sony which cost 800 quid. When I bought it,
it was excellent, but the Dab has gone way down hill.
All the best
Steve

Well, it's a subjective thing really isn't it. I'd prefer listening to a
decent DAB separate tuner than a compressed FM tuner. Some DAB stations are
compressed I know but in the main, it's a better quality. I'm not talking
about a cheap Pure, I'm on about a somewhat more expensive Arcam.

Hi Steve,
Dab is not quality.

Haha, I don't think it'd kill DAB though. I prefer listening to some
quality.

I agree, in that I do prefer Podcasts as they are much more flexible but,
unfortunately, not everything is available as a podcast.
They could just do away with DAB altogether for example and put their money
into Podcast development!

Hi Graham,
I don't recommend anything, as I don't use Internet radio on my phone. I am
more a Podcast man.

Hi folks. Yesterday I was a little frustrated, as I wanted to listen to
some commentary on my phones FM radio as I walked home with my sons, but
then found out that it was being broadcast over the internet instead. BBC
programs as you know, use the iPlayer to broadcast and therefore it isn't
available via the phone unless you use a wi fi connection...and, of course,
the iPlayer isn't supported anyway.
Well tonight I put my thinking cap on to see if there was a way around this.
Now I don't want to presume people aren't doing this already, but as I
haven't read any posts on this I'll tell you what I did and hopefully some
of you may find it useful. I went to my local BBC radio page and clicked on
"listen live". iPlayer opens and the radio stream begins. I then opened a
program I have which can detect the URL of any media currently playing.
Anyway from that, with a bit of editing from the beginning of the URL found,
I was left with a direct link to the BBC stream that bypasses the iPlayer.
I sent this link via e mail to my phone, clicked on "open link" and hey
presto real player kicked in and I had the station!
I did the same for a few other BBC stations and all worked perfectly. I
just saved the stream into the gallery for future use. I guess this can be
done for any station. I'm going to try ITV tomorrow and see if that works
aswell. If anyone needs links to put into their phones, let me know and
we'll see what we can do. Cheers Steve.
