Sounds complicated. History shows consumers don't like complicated
things (like how to program the blinking clock on their VCRs).
Terrestrial radio offers the ease of just "turning the knob".
That's it. Even a mental midget can do it.


Audio streaming is getting simpler all the time. You don't really even
need a router to do it. I feel sorry for HD.


No one in my family knows how to do it.
But they know how to operate a radio.
Internet == difficult for the average joe. Radio == easy.


Difficult now. Easy soon. With thousands of more choices than HD.

No brainer.
