There are plans to introduce Digital Radio to New Zealand - when they can decide on which standard to use. There are trial transmissions in Auckland and Wellington using DAB format.
Options are DAB, DAB+, DRM, DMB, and HD Radio, as listed on http://www.apsattv.com in the 15/12/09 postings on "What format for digital radio in NZ?"
Who listens to digital radio and where can you get a receiver?
The satellite radio stations are not receivable without a correctly pointed dish, but can you pick up the Freeview terrestrial digital radio stations in the main centres and/or the DAB trial transmissions using a special affordable portable or car radio?
This is new technology so would like to know more and give it a go.
