One thing that gets me with the 'improved' digital service is the broadcast delay factor. There's about a four second differential between analogue and digital...which CAN be handy.
If there's some sport on the TV (Formula 1, Wimbledon, footie etc) that you
kinda want to watch, but have got to get on with jobs around the house (so only want to watch the highlights), you can listen to it on the radio (analogue MW Radio 5Live for instance
) and when something interesting happens you've got time to rush through to the front room to watch it 'LIVE'!!
I managed to spoil most of the Wimbledon finals for my wife by shouting through from the study "He's missed it!" or "Double fault!" etc four seconds before Mrs Spartacus saw it on the TV! (She was not happy!)
Does bring into question the validity of the 'time pips' (if they're still in use)
"At the third stroke, it will be six pm precisely, unless you are listening on digital in which case please add four seconds....pip...pip...PIP"
