Yes. And I love the way that a football field turns into a green carpet
when the camera pans to follow the action. I also understand that DAB
digital radio quality is actually lower quality than a good FM signal.

When ALL transmissions are digital, there will no 'simple' radio, SWLs,
no DX, in fact no radio hobbies as we presently know it. We will all be
provided with what the powers that be decree is good for us, and have to
subscribe for the privilege. Anything presently free will have to be
paid for.
