Default HD radio means Half Dead radio

I have no idea who the self-proclaimed expert Jerry D.C. is, but his
and other claims about poor sales and high returns of HD radios are
unsupportable now. Such claims will either be verified or dismissed
in the next 9 months which includes the christmas selling season.


I don't think many receivers will be sold at Christmas, 2007. The ones out
there still bite big time, and the first generation of really good ones will
come sometime in mid-2008.

Speculative comments will either be proven or disproven by the sales
record tallied 120 days after the christmas rush. As of right now we
can guess about the volume of HD radio sales volume. Even more
important than the number of people buying hardware will be the number
of people who switch some of their listening time to HD channels. My
guess is that will take even longer for listening habits to change.

I think that mid-summer 2008 will be the earliest that any meaningful
HD listening statistics will be available.

It's not like I check the shelves in the stores around here for new
radios, because I dont, I know they are cheap plastic junk.QVC channel
is in HD now? I haven't clicked on that channel in over five years.
Those QVC people,about ten percent of the money they gyp people out of,
that ten percent goes to the democrats.I wouldn't ever buy anything from
QVC.

The worst thing you can do when debuting a new technology is give crap
to the early adopters (who tend to spread the word).

My first CD player was crap.... and cost $1400. I can say that about nearly
every totally new product. Early XM and Sirius receivers were vastly less
effective than current ones, too.

We're very sorry. This must have been a major blow to you.

We know you can and that's very exciting!! Your language skills are
improving, sort of.

''Less effective''? My Pioneer 903 picked up XM as well as my Onkyo
home receiver does. My retro CB looking Jensen picked up Sirius as
well as the new unit in my pickup truck. True, they were klunky, but
they worked. My BA Recepter gets 1 station in AM, KSPN, only during
the day, when they are 50,000 Watts.

Not according to iBiquity, which maintains that the BA Receptor was
the best HD AM portable achievable.
