Rant over.
Hello Mate,

Have you noticed it does the same with digital radio?

years ago when technology was not so good as it is now the recievers had a much bigger bandwidth...i.e. it would pick up the station or signal if it drifted abit, now a days the transmitters and recievers are so precise the bandwidth doesnt need to be wide and so when the signal drifts or becomes poor for any reason it can nolonger be detected.

fm and dab,digital radio has a shorter range from the transmitter as well as digital tv signals, try driving up to Inverness along the A9 to see how it works. When AM signals were on the go you could listen the whole journey, now, about 60-70% only.

I used to live way out in the highlands and tv signals were relayed using our own aerial system.... in came digital, out went our tv.

thats what they call improvements.
