It might be a problem for stores to install exterior antennas to demonstrate
live HD-Radio reception. But don't worry, the dumasses at iBiquity have a
plan! They've placed demonstration modules in stores (RDMs) that connect to
up to 10 HD Radios at a time to walk consumers through a simulated demo
delivered through the radio's own speakers. A small black box, whose flash
memory stores and plays back an endless-loop recording. The box connects via
cable to HD Radios on display, and signs or displays by the radios urge
customers to tune the radio to 88.1MHz on the FM dial to hear the demo and
view metadata on the radio's display. *It's like a lower power part 15 rig.
I can't make this up!


Well It's a Start.


Well at one point YOU were a start but that stalled and now look at what
we have, a news group retard.

It should provide for uniform results any where
and everywhere in the USA.
{-aka- A Uniform Buying Experience.}


Ha, ha, ha. What a comedian.

You'd think they'd push the stores like 'Wal-Mart" to install an outside
antenna. Or even buy it and have it installed. It can't cost that much? So
it leads me to think there is something smells? Maybe iBiquity is concerned
consumers won't be that impressed with the lack of content or stations
compared to satellite radio. Or if you live outside the city grade signal
maybe customers won't hear anything.


U'da Think So !

I'd like to get the AM&FM Outside Antenna 'contract'
for all the Walmart Stores in the USA -hell- Even just
the State of Texas (259) would be 'nice'

Starbucks uses their own Satellite Radio System
for All of their Stores -now-if- The HD-Radio Allience
could just get Starbucks to Feature HD-Radios in
their Stores for a Year . . . that's Marketing 101 !
-ps- That would be a 'nice' Contract to get too !


You mean force them into doing it? You bet they are working on that by
forcing radio manufacturers to include IBOC in the satellite receivers.


Why does HD smell like am stereo? It could have worked. I know it's
different, but gee wiz with so much at stake and the investment required by
broadcasters and consumers you'd think they'd get this right. And so far
they've really screwed this thing up. I know one thing HD doesn't have 10
years to evolve into something like FM did. Radio is being attached from any
angle and the wiz bang gadgets just keep on coming! *Once wireless internet
access in everyplace and standard in vehicles radio will have real
competition.


It Don't -cause- The FCC and the Broadcast Industry
[REALLY BIG MEDIA] are Both Lock-Step Behind It.
