Well, yes as we know not all "progress" is good "progress"
digital is either on or not on 0 or 1 so a good signal is needed to get anything at all, not so with an analogue signal ..also they try to squeeze too many channels into the available bandwidth which often results in lower fidelity than could be obtained with a traditional FM signal (money saving)
Yes a digital signal can give very good vastly superior picture/audio but it needs the bandwidth and a clean signal to produce anything.
Just last night I wanted to watch the terrestrial digital TV from the Pattaya transmitter ...but no signal ( 12 km's away)
in this case I think this local transmitter has a quite regular "problem" and the remaining FM signals from the same transmitter also went down too
(didn't check)
In the "analogue" days I could actually get a signal from the Bangkok transmitter (160 Km's away) a bit snowy but watchable.
You may be in a radio "dead spot" so require a better antenna than is usually provided..not so convenient for the toilet and bathroom....but "progress" !!!!
