Radio Sussex DAB

[Jerryatric]

I am away from home and only have access to a DAB radio, which doesn't have an FM option.

Radio Sussex is available on DAB. Does anyone know if the BHA v Ipswich commentary will be broadcast?

Thanks in advance.

No idea. Can't even get Radio Sx on DAB in Brighton!!

 

[Jerryatric]

Thanks Bakesy.

Whereabouts are you then mate. I am in Moulsecoomb, and get it clear as a bell on DAB here.

I get it ok in Seaford.
I guess it all depends on location.
Next year should see it everywhere once the digital switchover is complete.

Used to try last year in Bn1 unsuccessfully, now can't get in Hurstpierpoint either.

I am only in Worthing, but not at home. It is clear as a bell here too.

My question was related to the fact that if you listen on t'internet they don't feed the actual match commentary because of the Premium TV/ Seagull's World arrangement.

I just wondered if it was the same on DAB.

I agree Jerry, I used to get a crap FM reception, so on away games I listened on Seagull player, but on DAB it is great.

I tried last year it did not work

 

[Jerryatric]

Yes!

Commentary live on Radio Sussex DAB.

Perfect quality. Pity we haven't had a shot yet!

 

[Nottseagull]

This, of course, is the problem with DAB radio; you either get perfect reception or none at all. I will rue the day when we have it imposed on us.

Even if you do get good DAB reception, there's very little of interest once the Brighton game finishes. I'm really not interested in the managers and players of bloody Aldershot, Woking, Crawley, Eastbourne etc. talking about players I haven't heard of and how they performed in games I really don't care about, on a local Brighton frequency.

And my guess is that the supporters of each of these other clubs think the same way too.

The BBC are saving money by having a SussexAndSurrey football roundup. In trying to appeal to everybody, they satisfy nobody. It's a shame that Juice FM don't step in to run a Brighton round-up.

FWIW, Paul Clarke's commentary and punditry today was excellent.

Radio Sussex DAB loud and clear in Westdene

Is there any way of streaming Radio Sussex over the internet? I'm in Sheffield now but can't really afford to fork out for SeagullsPlayer, but would ideally like to listen to the games I can't make.

Be prepared for the double rip off , once analogue radio is switched off (the Government's motive is to sell off the radio spectrum for a small fortune to enable growth in mobile broadband) we will end up with DAB which is already 25 years past its sell by date. Once everyone has replaced their obsolete equipment with DAB gadgets we could end up throwing them away within 2 or 3 years when DAB+ becomes the de facto broadcasting standard.

You can stream Radio Sussex over the Internet but you won't get the football commentaries. They are under contract to the Football League and can only air commentaries over regular radio or via Seagulls Player.

... when DAB+ becomes the de facto broadcasting standard.

DAB+ ? Wossat?

that's television not radio. I shouldn't think radio will fully switch to Digital until 2015 at the earliest
