Recording radio an easier way

摘要

I have read the many contributions on the subject of recording radio with interest, but I wonder if there is not an easier method than those described by Barry Fox in his August column and readers who have shared their thoughts in recent Sound Off pages? The first thing to say is that I live in Scotland where, some two years ago, our government removed the main English language radio stations from Freeview in order to create more bandwidth for BBC Alba and Gaelic TV (which nobody in southern Scotland watches). Radio 3 and Radio 4 are therefore available on Freeview only until 5pm each day. Barry Fox was one of the few journalists at the time to comment on this folly, which restricts one's ability to capture radio broadcasts using video recording devices.
