Hmm, well, I know a heck of a lot of elderly folk sfor whom loss of bbc 7 would be a blow. They have no computer to use the on demand system, which is muted to replace it, and bought dab mainly for this service.

Don't get too excited. Internet pictures are not always that good and a fast moving sport like football puts the most strain on such feeds so on a big screen you may find it unwatchable. Paul DS.

catered for and resulted in the problems, as I'd have thought the spec
fairly well known by the time these boxes were made.
