I was impressed with the picture quality on GEM for the RWC. I stayed up most nights and watched the pool games as well as the finals (I work graveyard shifts )

MLXXX Whats the internet streams of 97.3's ensemble and other commercial stations like? I have a pretty crappy internet connection so can't test these out for myself. I'm only guessing they would be on par and if not better than the bitrates sampled on the DAB+ Transmitters.

Its the 'Caboolture' licence area.....whats that got to do with this post? Thats just the licence area for 101.5FM. I am still in the Brisbane Licence area and cannot get DAB+ without using an external antenna. Not really that portable is it? And not only that, the programming, the quality and everything else is poor. The 973 80's channel had promise but its just a 6 hour loop or something. You end up hearing the same songs in the same order at the same time.

Well, after moving up here to the sticks (Caboolture) and having to rig up an external antenna to get ANY reception, I'm going back to analog. Not only that, listening to 4KQ, Triple M and the 97.3 ensemble hurts my ears. The sound quality is horrible! Back to CD's and Internet radio for me! No ads either.

Sounds like KOFM has a playlist very similar to 92.7 on the Sunny Coast.

4ZZZFM in Brisbane now has RDS.

I noted this when I was on a roadtrip recently that 'Classic Rock' is no longer being used as the stations name. Sad really, I hope more 'poppy' songs don't end up on the playlist.

Well another long distance trip. Caralis FM stations in the regional areas have improved 10 fold with not only 2GGG and 2ZOO being nice to listen to, but FM100.3 Armidale also had a really nice mix of classic and new music. And local too. More than I can say for the MRR stations. However I did enjoy 2GZFM when they weren't syndicating 2GB/2UE. But my favourite station by far was B-Rock in Bathurst!

Well a week on and still happy with my purchase. Next step is Bluray.

G'day guys! After many years of watching TV on the Teac CRT tele it was time to upgrade. I searched long and hard and settled on a Panasonic TH-P42S20A. Also gone is the Strong HD STB and the Toppy, replaced with a Panasonic HDD/DVD recorder. Linked up via HDMI so I can take advantage of Veira Link. Very cool Picture quality is amazing! And after installing the new toys I had several Component and optical cables left over hehe Still kept the Pioneer DV-686A for SACD's. If anyone wants a good sports TV that's reasonably priced I'd recommend this panel.

I just acquired a Pioneer Rhondo 3000 LP player from the old's - what are these like? Are they any good? The sounds seems ok to my ears

I thought I made it quite clear to EVERYONE that I was receiving Brisbane (Mt Coot-tha) 7, 9, 10, ABC and 31 off the BACK of my antenna and SC10, WIN, 7 Sunshine, SBS and ABC (yeah I get 2 ABC's, lucky me ) from Bald Knob. Because, as I posted on Sunday I bolded the important bit. Thanks for reading.

This is now displaying as '965 Inspire DAB'. There is also 'Global' which I thought would be 4EB but the programs don't match unless 4EB are just playing music on their digital stream?
-
Ah ok I stand corrected then. But I checked again, the Brisbane stations I am receiving are from Mt Coot-tha and the Regional QLD stations I am receiving are from Bald Knob. Thanks for the info James.

I was under the impression that the Brisbane commercial stations are not off Bald Knob in Digital. But the signals that were being received in the install I did was from Mt Coot-tha. The only channels being received from Bald Knob are ABC, WIN, 7QLD and SC10.
