you are new to digital radio or very enthusiast and keen to explain
all the benefits to friends and family, here are some basic information
you need to know on how to use a Digital Radio and what is Digital
Radio made for. First of all a Digital Radio is not a digital screenplay. It’s much more than that. Digital radio is the new way to listen to your favourite radio stations plus the whole load of new ones ! Because of the way it transmits a signal, Digital Radio can double the number of radio stations you can get on FM and can give access to many others. More Choice Because of the way digital radio technology works broadcasters can transmit many more stations than ever before. From rock to easy listening, today’s hits to books and comedy. On average (depending on location) the digital radio listener will have double the choice of stations compared to listening via FM. Radio text / Scrolling text Have you ever heard a song on the radio and wanted to know who it is by or what it's called? Or tuned into speech radio and wanted to know what the programme is about or who is speaking? Digital radio sets come equipped with a small screen which carries information about the programme you're listening to.This may be a plot summary to a play, the name of the track currently being played, e-mail addresses, up to the minute sports results or competition details, and sometimes even what's coming up next. Soon, Digital Radio will offer even more sophisticated data, including an EPG - Electronic Programme Guide for the radio letting you select programmes by genre and pre-select what you listen to. Simply keep an eye on the screen to tap into this wealth of words. Clearer sound Digital radio doesn't suffer from the annoying effects of interference caused by adverse atmospheric conditions or electrical interference, which can spoil analogue broadcasts.The way digital radio is broadcast means there is no hiss and crackle, no fading, no overlap, just great radio all the time as long as you are within the coverage area. Easy to use You'd be surprised how many people know the name, and kind of their favourite FM radios, sort of where it is on the dial, but waste time searching around for it. Some people are even afraid to change stations because they worry they'll never get back to their favourite. Others mark the dial with a pen, or sticky tape so they'll always be able to find their way home. With a Digital Radio there are no frequencies. Just choose the station you want by name from the text display screen. It's easy every time and you don't need to worry about getting lost. No need to retune on the move Want to keep listening to your favourite station without the bother of retuning? Digital Radio stations are broadcasting on different technologies but the receiver does the job itself, so you never need to retune when you're on the move. Your radio always knows where to find the best signal for the station you listen to, so wherever you go within the coverage area, stations go with you. Control time Some new Digital Radios let you Pause, Record and Rewind live radio. For the first time this puts you in control of when you listen to the radio.You can stop time, go back in time, or set a timer to record a future programme. Free Unlike some digital television and radio services, you don't have to pay to receive Digital Radio (satellite radio is the only with subscription). Once you've bought the product, you'll enjoy all the benefits of digital radio completely free. |
