If you have a FM transmitter and a FM receiver, there's no reason why DSO would change anything.

I think analogue FM radio will be here much longer than Analogue TV - there's much less money to be made from selling off spectrum.

Its going to be a while before they switch off FM, is it not since EVERYTHING car wise has FM so in theory they wont for a long while.

Have you tried DAB its terrible. Its like the early days of radio. you have to have a huge great aerial on the roof so how can the sets be portable.

i have heard that DAB can be bad signal quality but i have a DAB radio and sound quality if great, so crackle or fuzz and the aerial is only the small 1 on the back and its not even in a good place in the house, and i find its alot easier to use and saves time a pain searching for channels and when first buying not having to scan and save channels
