I have an LED panel lighting my kitchen that puts annoying amounts of noise on my FM reception, even with a loft aerial. I've tried ferrite chokes on the light panel cables but to no avail. It's incredibly annoying, but at least iPlayer AAC at 320kbps sounds better than FM anyway so I'm not losing out really. FM broadcasts are distributed digitally around the transmitters using NICAM. So there is already a digital section in the middle of the transmission network, and has been since the 1980s as they started to build out the digital distribution system for FM. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Owen Smith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42371 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104672 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
