So, after much deliberation, hype, contemplation I sorted a digital radio at Christmas time. It's cool looking, but I would uber love it I could actually get novanation on it (which was the whole purpose of pushing to get a digital radio) The thing scans like 30 radio stations and the only one or two I can get and even they aren't consistent in reception are ABC stations!!! What is with that? Please tell me that in Brisbane digital radio has reach? I live in 4165 and I'm very disappointed at what digital radio frequency I was able to pick up. Please tell me my radio is cracked and I need to send it back and get a new one so then I be able to hear novanation in crystal stereo quality (although hearing it at all would be a good start) just like all the radio ads in the leas up to Christmas were promising... buy a digital radio and enjoy amazing quality radio... try none. Very disappointed. So is it simply a case of not enough infrastructure in place to get a digital frequency!?

Please help, I was so excited for having your station 24/7.

Ok so I sent an email to Digital Radio plus after a rep posted on their facebook page about what to do if you are having issues with the signal. I am pleased to say that in the space of two days the issues have been sorted and am now listening to novanation as it's meant to be heard! Not sure if in fact the techs did anything but I am super stoked either way, as at xmas time the situation was dire, was wonderingif it was goign to be a trip to cash converters!! so all is well, woooohhhoooo novanation 24/7!

Commercial Road cut off and your connection to the Brisbane digital transmitter too?

Yea no digital novantion when I tried to switch on Wed morning.

Goes to show digital radio needs great flexibility in its infrastructure, supplement dedicated data land lines with microwave links to the transmitter as per analogue radio.

The infrastructure is expensive I know for a supplementary technology, so I guess we should be grateful digital radio made it to air, perhaps station owners will now learn what they were told long before that siting the studios on Commercial in a flood zone is not a good idea.

Nova/DMG are the only Brisbane radio station to do so, but will soon be joined by the ABC in siting their studios in a flood zone, I have watched the helicopter vision of their construction site flooded. West End based community TV station, (Briz) 31 is also off air due to a poorly thought location.

Media outlets are required like never before during such occasions and should not need internal disruption due to being flooded themselves.

tick tick to the last comments. how about putting stations on the high ground!!!
