But I will pay for FREE over-the-air HD Radio.

Since I don't care about a big-screen tv, my reason for going hdtv is
for content. But WHERE is all the new content on the sub-channels?
After all this time, finally two local stations have added a sub-
channel with new content. Because of this, I purchased an analog-to-
digital converter box to get the content on my regular tv. EVENTUALLY
HD radio will have the content.

Most radio listeners don't give a hoot about dxing; HD radio will
therefore be a nice upgrade for them. I still run across people who
don't know what a navigation system is, who have never heard of
satellite radio, who still had no idea analog tv was shutting off next
year, etc. It takes time for the general public to become aware of
new technology. HD Radio WILL succeed.


You have got to be joking. Nice Troll.
