speaking of the BBC, does anyone know a free way to tune
into the World Service, preferably digitally? theyv
discontinued their shortwave transmissions to north america
and western europe, so even in ideal propagation, the only
possibilities are remote signals, and coupled with the 60 hz
hum of power lines, and random other hums of other devices,
plus the blockage from urban density, tuning in the
shortwave is more or less out of the question,
as for the streams, afaik its only realaudio and/or windows
media.
apparently there are some FM stations in the US and
elsewhere that carry a half hour of BBC here or there to
fill out their schedules, but from what i can find, all the
streams are also real/wmv or 24 kbps mp3 which is actually
physically painful to listen to.
am i missing something? or is the BBC just out of touch with
the realities of digital delivery..
