This new online player may be of interest, IE only at the moment. It has six different channels. http://www.classicfm.co.uk/Article.asp?id=528997&spid=

Interesting, thanks Noreen. :) I wonder how they fund it, given there are no ads?

I've no idea, Rik. I suppose they can use it as way of finding out directly what sort of music a listener likes. I'm not using it myself, I have my DAB radio playing most of the time and it is usually on Classic fm during the day. ;D

The attraction to me would be the lack of ads and the ability to tailor, but, like you, I've always tended to use a radio to listen to the radio. :)

Did you ever listen to the "Oneword" DAB channel? I did occasionally but I see it's now for the chop. Sad really. :(

I don't get that here, Noreen - we're quite limited in channels (also true for Freeview).

Hopefully that'll improve come the great TV switch-over. :) I think that they should make the switch-over earlier instead of this dragged out business that's planned.

It should, Noreen, though we are in a slightly weird position of bordering two main transmitters, Oxford and Sandy Heath, and having a relay, which is actually weaker than either for us.  :(

I agree Noreen, faffing about for 4 years, sheer lunacy..  :(

It does seem strange Rik that you live in the middle of the country and get such poor reception, I know Sandy Heath has always been a low power unit, I didn't know that Oxford is/was. :)

It's not that they are low-powered in particular, it seems to be more a case that Milton Keynes was an obscure village when the transmitters were laid out, and it falls into a bit of a hole. Even the broadcasters don't know which region to put us in...

Read that quickly Rik, it read;

Milton Keynes is a bit of a hole, can't argue with that..  :hehe:

It was when we first moved to Leighton Buzzard too. I can remember driving up here on roads that ran through grid spaces of nothingness...

The first house we bought was there, In. I remember Camden Motors rather well. A friend of ours came up from London, bought a car from them, took it back to our place where it caught fire on the drive!!  :o We had some good times there, I got to photograph the interior of All Saints church before it burned down, and there was always George Ort's and their wonderful cream cakes. :)

Oh, and living there was hell with normal font sets as there were never enough Zs...
