So you want people to PAY for your normally free service? O course, if
you are like
our local PBS TV stations, we PAY anyway, in the form of TAXES.

And those viewers ... quite a large area ... who would have trouble if
you used
DVB-T instead of 8-VSB, and transmitted the same number of bits. Of

you would just say "reduce bits" but there goes the quality.

Then you could listen to the complaints about the horrendous quality
of their radio programming on DAB.
