Default automakers with their HDs hanging out in the breeze

For now, one of the big attractions of the HD2 sub-channel is the almost
total lack of commercials. As HD receiver penetration continues to
increase there will be attempts to monetize it, which will reduce the
attraction of it. The far better audio quality of HD, and the better
content, are advantages to be sure, but the lack of commercials is one
of the biggest attractions.



HD radio audio quality is better than what? AM radio?

One thing I'd like to see is higher bit rates on HD2 and lower bit rates
on HD1.


It would be better to use the bandwidth for the second channel *only* to
give it enough bits to sound properly.
