Re: Internet radio vs DAB

The sound quality will generally be better via Internet - DAB uses MP2 and most of the stations transmit in mono at low bitrates, something I can't see being solved any time soon. Conversely, you'll get 128k Stereo MP3 or 64k AAC+ as the norm via the Internet. I go for Internet over DAB for that rea...

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

I thought last year's show overall was the best in terms of production for several years actually. It struck the balance just right.

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

Re: The Price of Petrol

Jesus. I'd kill for 85p a litre now, especially as I can only get 32-33 MPG out of my car, a 1.4l 08-reg Fiesta. I make a lot of short journeys (my drive to work is about 10 minutes.) Filled up last night, and my wallet was £55 lighter.

Re: Predictions for 15/08/2023

STV and UTV will become affiliates of ITV and will buy their programmes direct from the network rather than be part of the network, if that makes sense. Significantly more broadcasting on both TV and Radio will be IP based. The high street as we know it won't exist as more and more shopping moves on...
