Choosing a DAB radio | Ask Jack

On September 3, 2010, In News, Reviews, Technology, Uncategorized, by Lobo

Jon Sawer needs to upgrade his old but dearly loved radio and wants to buy a high-spec DAB radio I’m about to reluctantly upgrade from my existing extremely old but dearly loved radio. I’m intending to spend as much as I can afford on a top range, high specification standalone DAB radio. You have in the past published many articles on the subject on the UK DAB radio format and how you consider this to be inferior to the European model being developed, and I don’t really wish to make an error in my purchase when shopping around.

24 reasons why DAB might not make it

On April 12, 2010, In News, Technology, Uncategorized, by Lobo

In theory, the Digital Economy Act has put the UK on track to switch mainstream radio from FM to DAB, but that does not mean the problems have gone away… Now that the Digital Economy Act has been adopted, the UK is on track to switch its mainstream radio stations from FM to the DAB digital radio system developed about 20 years ago and, technically, already obsolete. (DAB has been overtaken by DAB+, which is being adopted in those parts of the world that don’t feel they are already so far into a DAB roll-out that they can’t back out.) The target date for a switchover announcement is 2015, which seems unlikely.

UK government prepares for DAB+ and proposes a new EPG for radio

On January 13, 2010, In News, Technology, Uncategorized, by Lobo

The British government wants listeners to be able to pick their radio stations by name, without worrying whether they are on FM or DAB, but the 2015 date targeted for switchover does not leave much time During yesterday’s debate about the government’s plans for the future of local radio in Westminster Hall in the House of Commons yesterday (already covered in Media Guardian ), Siôn Simon from Department for Culture, Media and Sport put DAB+ on the agenda, in line with Lord Carter’s Digital Britain report. “We have said that all new technology should be DAB+ and future compatible so that further change is future-proofed and DAB+ is not excluded,” he said*. “Only 5% of the digital radio receivers currently on sale cannot receive FM.
