The digital TV switchover is in full swing, having started with Whitehaven in Cumbria in 2007 and continuing until everyone in the UK is switched over in 2012 (just in time to watch the Olympics!), so the next change on the agenda has to be digital radio. The initial report has been completed by the Digital Radio Working Group, who have no set timetable yet but estimate that all radio could in theory be digital by 2020, although they stress that listeners would have to be given at least 2 years notice before any switch took place. In the home a lot of people have access to digital radio through their Sky TV or Virgin Media services, not to mention Freeview and BT Vision, but what about in the car? There must be a real opportunity for car audio manufacturers to produce good value digital radios for in-car use too.

I read recently that in a couple of years that car companies will be selling cars with digital built into them and that if you had to sell your car then then value would be lower because of an analogue stereo built into it.So if i was to sell my car privately then the guy aint going to buy it off me because the stereo doesnt work..is this rumour true..i also heard that it could cost up to 300 quid to get your stereo replaced if the digital age is in then.??? surely this cant be right.
