Forgot to mention that DAB is the ditial broadcast standard for the UK, don't know what standard is used, but would be surprised if it is not MPEG 2 audio in some form, it maybe even MP3!

The only reason that digital exist in the UK at all is because the broadcasters can broadcast more channels, typically they do not care about quality! Whilst we have digital TV it is no better than analogue, in fact it is often not as good!

We do not have HDTV in any form at all!!!
