To build on this good answer, there's an additional factor: How well a receiver can make use of the signal it receives.

I have both an old and a newish DAB radio. One can decode the audio pretty much anywhere in our home. The other only has stable reception if I put it by the window. It's the same signal, but it's not strong enough for the old DAB radio in most places at home.

Edit: This may be true for different FM radios too, but less noticeable as FM doesn't have a "digital cliff" where the decoding just fails as seen heard on DAB. Plus, DAB is comparatively new technology... Oldish FM radios still have decades of techy wisdom in their design, whereas as of today, old DAB radios haven't had the benefit of time for the engineers to optimise their design.

Look at McDonald's, ahead of its time with that lovely WST Level 2 orange! ❤️

Switching it DAB+ is great. It makes better use of the available spectrum.

Adding in extra stations at the same time is such a shame. The audio quality of commercial DAB stations in the UK is so far from "Crystal clear digital sound" that we were promised.

I agree. This website has been very useful and encouraging on my language learning journey.

Technically, no, as in the UK, you can't steal electricity... you can only abstract electricity, which is an offence in its own right. (IANAL)

I'll get my coat.

I was so annoyed to get that email. Never using them again. Going to install a non-smart wireless thermostat, or maybe a HA install if I'm feeling brave.

It brings me a lot of joy to contribute to OSM. I haven't written anything other than the occasional script for years, so it feels good to help the community in ways like this instead.

I've sunk so many hours into it. Either "armchair mapping" with OSM and the imagery overlays, or (more fun) wandering with the android Street Complete app to fill in gaps when I'm out and about.

Is this a two Polaroid post?

Maybe he thinks that more of his constituents are pro breathing decent air than pro driving smoggy private vehicles. I'd like to think he's onto something.

The trees are still plotting my demise.
