So you now have an aerial system delivering you radio at lower audio
quality than on FM, the digital TV platforms and Internet radio.
Congrats!

Nice to see the needle is still stuck.

He's right though.

Actual audio quality may not be that important for R7 which features
mainly classic BBC comedy shows - and makes DAB worth having for that
alone.

95?% of all radio is pop stuff which is so heavily processed before
transmission that those who complain about DAB ain't much interested in
audio quality anyway.

But no one is forcing you to use DAB - there are plenty of alternatives.
Unfortunately the vast majority heavily processed too.
