IBOC has been going in the US for some time now.

Is it as good as the people at iBiquity said it was?

Does it sound any better than FM stereo or AM stereo?


IBOC FM is a mixed bag. It doesn't sound all that wonderful, but again
I think most of the FM sound quality issues have to do with overprocessing
more than anything else, and digital transmission doesn't do anything about
that.

IBOC AM sounds pretty awful to my ears. Much worse than good wideband AM
transmission with a good receiver (which is something hardly anyone here
will ever get a chance to hear, I am sorry to say).

Are receivers easy to buy?


No. Typical consumers don't even know they exist.

How is AM stereo doing in the US?


Do we have AM stereo here?
