Since every station upgrades the software in the HD equipment each time there is a codec or software change, we should know how many times it is revised. OK David lets try out this little poser on you the man with all the answers. If the IBOC comes out on a ASIC and then the codec changes then what about all the radios out there with old chip in them? Do they stop working? Will they only be able to receive stations using the old codec? -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Our AFN satellite receivers have to update themselves every few months. AFN sends the updates down from the bird and the receiver downloads and installs them. I'm no fan of IBOC, of course, but I see no reason that the ASIC (not knowing the particulars of the chip) couldn't be designed to do the same (Flash RAM or some such). -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

To bad for the rest of us you had to answer that question. I wanted to see David fumble it. Spoiler. Most of the algorithm and codec changes have been one sided... and all of them have been since ver. 2 of the design specs were released last year prior to the "Official" launch of HD in June. What has been changed, per our engineers who looked at the update bulletins, with some frequency is the system that distributes content in the individual digital sidebands, to make it even less error prone, and certain one-sided codec changes on the AM audio (this may just be iBiquity saying they polished the code a bit). It all constitutes fine tuning at this stage. |

Actually, now that I think about it there were some changes in the receiver. Let me get back to you on this. |

Your explanation leaves a little to be desired. If the sidebands were differentiated what was the difference or reason? -- Telamon Ventura, California |
