Most people don't even know what HD radio is and if they do they don't generally want it. Most people that are serious about music get satellite radio.


A few years ago most people didn't even know what satellite radio is.
JUST LIKE HD RADIO, satellite radio started as a PREMIUM in the LUXURY
cars. Then, after SEVERAL YEARS, became an option on most cars. I am
surprised that so many people are so clueless as to how new products
start and develop into the mainstream. Just like navigation systems.
They were first offered as an option on the Luxury cars about 9 or 10
years ago, and STILL this option is NOT offered on all models of
cars. IT TAKES TIME for the mainstream to become informed. Not to
mention that MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE SERIOUS about spending their hard-
earned money WISELY would NEVER pay for a satellite subscription.
