Even bigger sigh! If it only was as simple as that. As much as I know, in Japan, they plan to digitize Radio and TV together with a system called DMB-H. And if you think, that DAB is popular in Germany for instance, your in for a surprise: Hardly anyone here uses it, and last year the first 30 radio stations started in the digital television system that's used here. It is called DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting terestrical). Nobody knows, whether digital radio will mean DVB-T subcarriers or DAB in a couple of years. But the politicians want to switch off analog radio in 2010. Want more? DRM is the name of the radio system, which was created to replace analog shortwave radio. It can also be used on midiumwave and longwave. Some German radio stations transmit on MediumWave via DAB. But I've heard, that in the U. S., they plan to use HD radio on MediumWave too. So the radio situation may become quite chaotic in the next couple of years. The Internet could become the best radio standard system. <*** Michael Lang ***> _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.
