As part of the whole debate about the "analog switch-off" which there is discussion about it again and again to switch off the FM radio. This event was planned initially 2010, then 2012 and now 2015 - one suspects he enjoys walking times to the back. Meanwhile, no one believes anymore that it will work 2015th There
Why is this particular two. First, it has still not reached agreement on a standard really (!), On the other there is a fundamental problem which actually requires a more or less continuous parallel operation.
A household usually has 1-3 TV, they are always in the same place and have a SCART socket to which you can connect a set-top box. Thus, the preconditions for DVB-T have been relatively easy. In addition, the analogue reception anyway, hardly anyone used there. The conditions were really quite simple, so a couple of great table Scheib perpetrators apparently thought that this is quite easily could be transferred to the radio domain.
During radio, however, all three conditions are fundamentally different.
- If I count only once the radios, which hang around with me and my mother, I come to their nine. I am extremely optimistic once (from the perspective of umstellfreudigen) and set just a figure of 3 units per nose as an average number, we are at approximately 250 million radios.
- Of these, slightly over 40 million installed in cars and cars have the stupid habit of moving - The same leads on the one hand, that either have to send the car radio or the radio station to a complete change both forms. Moreover, in this way are added, of course, the cars, although not at home in Germany, but on vacation by rolling here. Makes further ~ 200 million.
- Hardly a radio it is structurally designed to have an upstream tuner, all the historical devices (in my case is for example a radiogram of 1956) would then be ripe for the garbage. And in not a few modern cars the radio is integrated so deeply that you can share anything - then equal to the whole car is ready for the garbage. Only high-fidelity receiver are lucky, because they can be looped through an external source.
