However, I think I could prosecute the case on 'supply' that you laid out above. Let me run this by you. To demonstrate that a programme originator had entered into an agreement with the unlicensed mux operator would only need to (1) take the form of an email exchange between the two where the outcome was the station being broadcast on the mux. Obviously, (2) if there was an agreement attached to that email at some stage (which I believe is the case) that could also be offered as evidence. Finally, (3) forensic accounting of any bank account (mux operator or programme originator) would quickly identify the source and destination bank accounts of any funds transferred between the two parties. I only need one but three would be a slam dunk. You also mention the setting up of a separate stream for this mux. If the timing of that was coincident with the launch of the mux then this would be what is called 'supporting evidence' - not good enough on its own but - good enough if I only had one of the three mentioned above. That's my last post on the legals of this (no moral judgement here) .

JDxtra wrote: » I'll need to do another scan, that was done in Leixlip but the signal wasn't very strong going into the tuner I was using (an SDR attached to a computer). I think it didn't show the specs correctly as it reported the stations as 128kbps but my standalone tuner shows them as 96kbps. I'll get a better scan done to confirm.

We are not privy to any conversations which may be happening in the background with the relevant regulatory authorities. I think what they are doing is great, fair play to them for taking the iniative and starting up the service and I hope they can get any regulatory approvals in place to continue the service because I believe choice is a great thing and can only make the market bigger and better. Edit: Just to add I've no connection with FreeDab bar being an enthusiastic observer seeing how their service grows / develops.
