LBC
|
I am in Bracknell, Berkshire. I bought a DAB a while ago, specifically
for LBC. I have not been able to get LBC at all, untill a few weeks
ago, when it appeared with almost no errors. Then, this weekend, it
disappearewd again. Today, I can get it, but it seems to be fairly
critical where I place the reciever. All or nothing situation. Are
they playing about with the transmission power does anyone know ? I
have no problem getting LBC on FM anywhere in the house. I fail to see
how this is an improvement !

DAB is the equivalent of a good mono MW station, it is nowhere near the
quality of a decent FM stereo station. Your reception will depend on where
|
.. and as I noticed from a visit to North Lincolnshire recently, LBC is
transmitted at 48kbits... I wonder would that still be better than MW?
|
Kerrang is at 64 kbps on a few DAB multiplexes, and the one here definitely
sounds worse than MW. It must take real skill to get it to sound as bad as
it does.
|
Not really.
Just encode it at 32k first, and then transcode up to 64k ;)

the DAB transmitter is located, it's not always at the same site as the FM
one.
DAB was ruined by multiplex owners selling advertising. To increase sales
they reduced the audio quality to cram more stations in. Unfortunately most
are mono, poor quality and overcompressed.

DAB isn't an improvement.
