Not enough car manufacturers are taking the digital radio switchover seriously. Will the digital radio switchover някога да се случи? 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. Повече от 50 на сто от радио слушане трябва да се направи дигитално за преминаване към Старт, както и цифри, разкрива миналата година показват, само един от трима хора го правят сега. 50 Процента фигура е очаквал да бъде достигнато тази година, но огромна сума на цифрови радиостанции ще трябва да бъдат закупени в януари или автомобили закупени с цифрови радио като стандарт за тази цифра да се достигне. Съм 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. Сътрудник volume maker Volkswagen is getting involved too, with it being confirmed as standard on all models from the Polo upwards (everything so 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 now only offering some models with the technology. However, it is in the luxury segment where the absence of digital radio is both the most разочароващо 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. Желанието ми за цифрово радио е специфична, но ще има други като мен с подобни индивидуални нужди: като фен на крикет, радио 4 дълговълнова винаги е моето пристанище за лятото тестове или сутрин зимата commutes всеки път, когато Англия играе в чужбина. 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. В добра кола с добър стерео и намери нещо хубаво да слушате на цифрови радио- и това е успокояващо преживяване. 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.
