Well, the band is full of HD hiss at night ; and not every HD station
is on HD yet!

In Central Ohio, I left my trusty Sangean HDT1 seeking a HD station, and
it didn't find any. Yet they're audible all over, on a regular radio ;
even very strong ones.

Verdict : you can't hear any HD radio in HD at night, but they're on all over
for the benefit of ordinary listeners, the hiss being better programming
perhaps. Or maybe it's to drive you to some other band that's more
profitable. The commercial profit is in jamming.

Were I at home now, I would give up on commercial radio, and spend the
paltry sum on XM or Sirius.. at least they program for more than the status
quo.

I have a feeling that is going to happen in general, especially with
AM-HD causing massive problems.

I'm more inclined to go the internet "radio" route myself, especially
since I do most of my listening at home and not when I'm on the run. I
certainly agree with Ron's remarks above, though. What a train wreck!
I pulled out the old SW77 last night and basically heard a few
powerhouse locals against a background of solid hiss and buzz. The
hiss all by itself was enough to peg the S-meter on the 77.

It is about half the band here. Worst affected for me do far is KOH out
of Nevada to which I used to listen to several programs on in the
evenings. It only half the band because only some stations are
broadcasting IBOC at night. If they all were the whole band would be
trash.

You're gonna pay for radio?!!! Sucka!

I'd rather take the money I'd save on pay-radio and instead spend it
on records, tapes, CDs and replacement diamonds for my hi-fi.

And then there are always the hundreds of Internet audio feeds going
on if I don't want to "spin my own".

You pay for radio every time you buy name brand crap at the store. At
least with satellite radio you don't have to pay to be insulted while
they're picking your pocket.

Some channels on both Sirius and XM have commercials. I believe it's
only some of the music channels that are totally commercial free. But
the talk stuff? Oh yeah, that has spots. And you're paying to hear
those....
