DAB hand
One of the many delightful things which Santa brought me this year was a DAB digital radio set. And very lovely it is too.
I've long been suspicious of the analogue-bad, digital-good movement, primarily since the UK has chosen to use such terribly low bit-rates in its digital TV roll-out.
And surprise surprise, it turns out that the UK is bottom of the league table when it comes to digital radio bit-rates as well.
And Belgium isn't much better, apparently.
And yet... one of the fantastic things about DAB is tuning. In your home country you probably know your way around the FM band, but move to another country and radio becomes bloody difficult terrain to master and find the stations you're happy with. Especially in a tri-lingual country like this one.
It's also an awfully cute little set. Aww.
Off to Sweden tomorrow for New Year - so see you in 2005!
Hope so. And may it be the best of all possible years :)
