Thanks for that clarification, Neil. We only ever listen to ABC Radio
National or ABC Classic FM so I have never even gone further than
noting that those "digital" stations are there.

Hi Severin,
My understanding is that the radio stations you get on our settop
box are
just another channel multiplexed from the TV transmitter - whilst
they are
certainly "digital" you could think of it as digital TV without
pictures ;)
The recent rollout of digital radio is quite different.
The new digital radios that are being sold wouldn't pick up the radio
channels that your settop box does and viceversa.
As far as I know, if you have one of the new digital radios in
Albany you
would pick up nothing! - unless you had one of the models that also
includes
FM.
Cheers
Neil

Well, there will probably be several more iPod models before we see
digital
radio down here in Albany - there is still no sign of commercial
digital TV
yet!! (Though with ABC1, ABC2, SBS1 & now SBS2 I'm not really
missing GWN &
WIN!)

I see Apple are trumpeting "The new built-in FM tuner" in their
latest iPod
nano. Maybe someone could tell them that FM has become old
fashioned in
Australia and digital radio is all the go.
