Re: In Real Time?
FM is realtime; DAB is not.
In both cases a 1 hour program(me) takes 1 hour to listen to, so both are realtime.
In both cases any observed point in the program(me) is delayed by a period from the moment when it was transmitted, either by processing delays or speed-of-light delays, but those processing delays are bounded and the speed-of-light delay is defined by the distance. FM radio is exactly as "real time" as the signals from this 100million-light-year distant black hole.
