沒有足夠的汽車製造商正在認真的數位無線電切換。將數位無線電切換發生嗎?一件事看起來肯定: 政府原定目標日期 2015 年關閉類比無線電發射機比以往任何時候天空中尋找更多餡餅。 50%以上的電臺聽力需要到開始和去年的數位轉換為數字做揭示了只有三分之一的人現在這樣做。 50%的數位已經預期將會達到這一年,但龐大的數位收音機將需要購買 1 月銷售或汽車買的數位無線電作為這一數位將達到的標準。 不要期望太多的説明下從汽車行業達到 50%圖。甚至在 2013 年,數位無線電仍被太多的製造商,作為豪華可選的額外而不是每個人都應該有權訪問與數位的轉換 — — 政府仍然致力於,不管多麼緩慢吸收的東西。 一些製造商現已開始推出數位無線電作為標準,市場領導者是其中最突出的福特。大眾介入太,與它被確認為標準對所有模型從馬球向上的同胞卷製造商 (所以一切除了向上) 為 2013 年車型年。越來越多沃克斯一起的數碼收音機,但你不能得到一個雪鐵龍和標緻現在只提供某些型號的技術。 然而,它是在豪華車市場最令人失望和令人驚訝,缺乏數位收音機在哪裡與寶馬唯一提供它作為標準在其陣容。它是仍然不能獲得數位收音機甚至保時捷 911,例如支出超過 70,000。 我對數位無線電的願望是具體的但會有其他像我一樣有類似的個別需求: 板球風扇,電臺 4 超長波一直是我埠的呼籲夏季測試或早上冬季通勤于每當英格蘭國外玩。 但是我不記得的上次我坐進一輛汽車與長波,所以聽聽比賽的唯一途徑是進行數位 5 生活體育額外。這是偉大的因為其實你可以聽到什麼評論家和學者們說,不過度裂紋或干擾。 用一種很好的立體的好車去,找些事情來聽聽數位廣播和它是一個舒緩的經驗。 雖然估計當最終發生切換的時候會留下死氣的 2500 萬人將不得不支付大約 100 升級到數位把收音機,業界的充分知識來了切換,可以停止正在傳播至新車買家通過使標準套件現在這筆費用。我已經做到新年的決議,以他們的名義。 Not enough car manufacturers are taking the digital radio switchover seriously. Will the digital radio switchover ever happen? One thing looks certain: the governments original target date of 2015 for turning off analogue radio transmitters is looking more pie in the sky than ever. More than 50 per cent of radio listening needs to be done digitally for the switchover to start, and figures revealed last year reveal only one in three people are doing so now. The 50 per cent figure had expected to be reached this year, but a huge amount of digital radios would need to be purchased in the January sales or cars bought with digital radio as standard for that figure to be reached. Dont expect the 50 per cent figure to be reached with too much help from the automotive industry. Even in 2013, digital radio is still viewed by too many manufacturers as a luxurious optional extra rather than something that everyone should have access to with a digital switchover – something the government remains committed to, regardless of how slow the uptake is. Some manufacturers are now beginning to roll out digital radio as standard, market leader Ford being the most prominent. Fellow volume maker Volkswagen is getting involved too, with it being confirmed as standard on all models from the Polo upwards (so everything except the Up) for the 2013 model year. More and more Vauxhalls are coming with digital radios, but you can't get a Citroen with one and Peugeot is only now offering some models with the technology. However, it is in the luxury segment where the absence of digital radio is both the most disappointing and surprising, with BMW the only one offering it as standard across its line-up. It is still not possible to get a digital radio even when spending more than 70,000 on a Porsche 911, for instance. My desire for digital radio is specific, but there will be others like me with similar individual needs: as a cricket fan, Radio 4 long wave has always been my port of call for summer tests or morning winter commutes whenever England is playing abroad. But I cant remember the last time I got into a car with long wave, so the only way to listen to the matches is digitally on 5 Live Sports Extra. Which is great, because you can actually hear what the commentators and pundits are saying without excessive crackle or interference. Get in a good car with a good stereo and find something nice to listen to on digital radio and it is a soothing experience. While the estimated 25 million people who will be left with dead air when the switchover does eventually happen will have to pay around 100 to have their radios upgraded to digital, the industry, with full knowledge that the switchover is coming, can stop this cost being spread further to new car buyers by making it standard kit now. I've made it a New Year's resolution for them on their behalf.
