Hybrid Digital Radio is a *good* thing.
As good as the internet radio.
As good as the music coming out of my Ipod.
As good as the HDTV that is replacing blurry NTSC.


1) Most internet radio is low bitrate and sounds like hell.
2) I don't know what bitrate you're using on your ipod, but a lot of people
are using 64 or 96 k/b mp3 bitrates that sound like hell warmed over.
3) "HDTV" is not replacing "blurry NTSC". DTV will do so. Most programming
on DTV is NOT HD, and may never be. It's 480i or 480p, which is supposed to
be the digital equivalent of NTSC, but in reality is loaded with artifacts
and pixelization. True HD does look pretty good, but to date the stations
have nowhere near the useful coverage of their analog counterparts (people
in the sticks can't watch them).
