Dab Digital Radio: The Analog Alternative
DAB, or digital audio broadcasting, brought to the radio industry what the digital technology of cellular phones brought to the telecommunications industry–an alternative to analog technology. Using the Eureka 147 format, broadcast companies in Europe and the UK made the shift form analog broadcasting to DAB digital radio broadcasting; the Eureka format became globally standardized everywhere except in the United States.
The United States chose instead to have its DAB digital radio broadcasting formatted in hybrid-digital radio, which make it the only country to have done so, and more or less stopped the adoption of DAB digital radio technology altogether. In the United States, satellite radio has received all the broadcasters’ and broadcasting equipment manufacturer’s attention. Why?
Because satellite radio requires listeners to purchase expensive receivers, and in addition, to shell out the cost of subscribing each month. Radio listeners in other countries must simply raise their eyebrows at the prospect; they receive Eureka 147 and digital radio at no cost.
DAB Digital Radio Features
When the UK decided to make a massive commitment to DAB digital radio in 2001, all of the BBC’s public radio stations, and more than fifty private ones switched their operating systems from analog to the analog and digital hybrid. The radio receivers used to pick up HD audio broadcasts have the capacity to display information relevant to the audio content of the broadcast.
DAB digital radio transmits radio text to the listener, providing tidbits lie the name of particular musical artist when his or her song is being aired, or the plot summary of a radio drama for which the listener may have tuned in a bit late. It will identify the participants in a talk program, or give up to the minute scores for sporting events. For more info see http://www.digitalradio-review.com/Articles/Digital_Radio_Recorder.php on Digital Radio Recorder.
A DAB digital radio receiver eliminates the need for fine tuning the reception on your favorite station as you move through its broadcast area. All you need to do is scroll through the list of stations available and then hit a button to select the one of your choice, for crystal clear reception.
iBiquity Digital
In the United States, iBiquity Digital has been approved by the FCC as the only supplier of hybrid digital analog technology, which it claims enormously increase the amount of broadcast channels, improve the sound quality so that AM sounds like the FM of the past, and FM achieves CD quality.

How to record digital OTA and analog cable with one tuner.?
I have purchased the ATI TV Wonder™ HD 600 tuner which has a coax digital/analogue input and a composite input.
I’m currently recording using an analogue cable signal which has lower quality when it comes to channels that are broadcast in hd over the air.
Is there any way to record certain channels using analog input and other channels using an antenna all with either the one coax input or the composite input? Obviously I could purchase another tuner, but what about some other cheaper hardware options?
If you mean automatically, not easily. You will need to have an RF selector switch to switch between antenna and cable, and software which can change between cable and broadcast maps.
Another option would be to get a cable box. You might be able to set that up on the composite input, and antenna on RF.
