In one respect, Rediffusion were the _Apple_ of their day. Their TV sets didn't have tuners so cost about half as much to produce, meaning they could undercut competitors (Generally; Radio Rentals) on weekly TV rental. Of course, a Rediffusion set couldn't be tuned in to an _over-the-air_ broadcast (A normal TV could be tuned to work with Rediffusion service) meaning if you were on Rediffusion, you were _stuck_ with Rediffusion, too... 📺🍎😉

Everything the BBC shows now is a load of shite anyway Sick to death of bloody sport. Sad bastards bowls a geriatric game for old farts for eight hours.

I canceled mine recently and am now getting threatening letters. They go straight in the bin.

There is one currently on 6.42 (49 meters) in Oxfordshire, UK.

Imagine getting threatening letters and knocks at the door from Tesco because you shopped at Asda instead.

Good for you Peter,I stopped paying the telly tax over 7 years ago,one of the best things I have ever done😊😊😊😊

Been trying to get my parents to cancel they’re tv licence, they don’t even have sky anymore 😂 or let alone watch the bbc or any live-streaming services, they quite literally watch Netflix once in a while and that’s it, but they’re too scared and don’t believe me when I tell them they you don’t have to pay it if you don’t watch that crap 😂 🤦‍♂️

Haha what? Your whip antenna is for SW, CB, and FM only! The MW ( Am circuit) is not even designed (attached) to the whip antenna😂. MW has a built-in ferrite rod antenna connected inside the case.

There's no way that's a BBC/TVL goon at the door, because they never declare themselves to be from TVL, when they knock.

At 250 feet, what frequency is that transmitting on?

I love that there's still remains of the infrastructure about.

Yeah I've stopped funding the kiddie fiddling corporation (***) years ago

I just purchased the same radio. Are you connecting an outside antenna to this unit? I currently use the Tecsun AN+48x and AN-03L Compact with some success. Thanks

Growing up in St. Louis my favorite is KMOX on 1120 kc's. They've been around since the 1920's and are still going strong and still have have the same news/talk format. they also carry Cardinal's baseball and Kansas Chiefs football. They are still 50KW clear channel.

I just bought one and after reading the instructions while the battery was on charge, i turned it on together with my Tecsun PL-310ET, which i liked I had them side by side, antennas up, and tuned them both at the same time I was astonished. The XHDATA "pulled in" 2 to 4 times the stations as the Tecsun. Whether it was MW or SW, I was hearing so many stations.... If I dropped it and broke it, I'd buy a new one right away... This will be a collectors item one day...

wonder how is the newer version doing of XHDATA D-808, they supposed to removed some filters from the board and other board changes.

What's a TV licence..? 😂

Just don't answer the door

Maybe you record live TV? Or use BBC iPlayer? Therefore the knock on the door.

lol enjoyed this video tremendously

Are you planning any new videos about shortwave in the near future? Would be nice! Thanks!

im still deciding this XHDATA D-808 or AT25 AMP

The PL 990x has no RDS on FM what i cant understand...the Xhdata d 808 has RDS and airband on top for 1/3 of the price from the PL 990x. Actually i want buy the 990x but im not sure if that's a upgrade to the D 808 .What do you think?Good deal or waisting money? I'm just using AM with 30m wire antenna

I had an air bnb...just let them in show them and then never had anyone call me again

It is so wonderful to see my fathers ship and radio station again. Your information seems a little off but it is close enough. Keep on doing this great work!

WWV and WWVH were once voted radio stations of the year by TIME magazine😅 CHU was runner up but was given an inclusion award for being bi-linguel😮

..simple math states that it will have a good swr on 15 and 6 metres. I have built 40m verticals, and the antenna is a 3/4 wavelength on 15m, and 1.75 wavelength on 6 metres.. VE3IIM/VE6PG

As a teenager growing up in London I used to listen to AFN on MW. I occasionally picked up North American radio stations in the winter. It was exciting to pursue in addition to SW.

Once you learn the difference between a station I.D. and aan hour long program you,ll see the facts about DSp tuned radios. The ' chip"becomes your limitin tuning and also pleasant audio! But the Manufactuers keep pushing non-radio bells and whistles so you,ll buy them( clocks , memories Sing and give milk is next!

🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍well done. Done it years ago. Full of crap and biased

I’m on Longwave! Arctic 252 has got it’s licence for 252kHz

I don't really care about the radio, tell me more about your dog please.

60 kilohertz

It wasn't Medium Wave, but Atlantic 252 on LW was one I remember from the 90s.

Buggering Boys Club 😮 NO GOOD 🇬🇧

BBC 648 😭I mis it so much.....!

There is no radio licence , it was abolished over 50 years ago .

Who in this day and age watches live TV.

There is no licence needed for radio anymore apparently

Agree 100% about the SD card, should have been for recording. Unless it's for listening recordings from some other device, such as Tecsun Q3 (included in the Tecsun PL 990x kit) Other than that, I'm pretty excited about this

Oh werrd son

9 years for me Sir, I'm still going through the same speech to convince my mom and dad to cancel theirs, same story it again involves a paedo.

Yep stop watching the propaganda channel government the mouth piece,

I've stopped paying the TV tax because I don't want to fund propaganda, lies, groomers and pedophiles.

Do not allow any of these BBC thugs to intimidating you.

How old is your RE27? Is it Made in USA or Mexico?

I live in the Midwest USA and at night I pick up MW stations on both coasts with my General Electric Super Radio lll. Cheers

Very cool! Thx!

In my area of the states, we had (and still have) 700 WLW Cincinnati and 840 WHAS Louisville which are (or were) "clear channel" stations -- 50,000 watt stations that you could hear over most of the US in the evening. There was also WLS from Chicago. I can remember when the latter two still played music (but usually mixed in with more talk than FM), while WLW was the station I would tune in to hear Cincinnati Reds baseball games. I have not tried listening in years because, as you mention, the band has become much nosier and is mostly talk radio. One thing I remember from my teen years... I had a 1967 Rambler that only had AM radio (medium wave). The two types of interference it was most likely to pick up were lightning and the firing of the engine's spark plugs!
