Do you hate DR Mondiale too?

Yes - all forms of digital radio are a farce with poor reception, poor
sound quality, and extra channels which are garbage and no value to
consumers.

Of course, but DRM doesn't matter because it has already failed.

Can you demodulate DRM without a digital decoder?



Do you hate DR Mondiale too?


It's not so bad. It would be better if they would segregate the AM and DRM
SW stations.

HD radio advocates want to put a new seat cushion on a horse drawn
carriage and call the result a spaceship. At bottom they simply fear
the future, fear technology, fear the internet, fear progress, and
fear the inevitable.

No, but it does have one advantage over HD Radio. DRM can be received
with a standard computer (you just need the tuner to receive the
signals).

As a whole, digital radio is a farce, offering poor reception
(especially in moving vehicles), unnecessary extra channels (as if
there aren't already enough radio stations), and expensive receivers
requiring external antennas - no wonder, consumer interest in DAB has
stalled in Canada and the US, and is slowing in the UK.

I think the reaction you're getting is really due to

1. Reaction to the marketing hype, which in the case of Ibquity and DRM, is
the bold faced lie of CD quality.
2. The way you promote the official position, as if you had a financial
stake. Regardless of whether you're just a bored engeineer, or a marketing
type lying his ass off, this is the way you come off.



I see. Well I wrote roughly half of the criticisms section (and all
of the HDR vs. EU DRM/DAB section) located he
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hd_radio#Comparison_to_EU.27s_Digital_Radio
----- I have also posted quite a number of negative comments on this
forum such as, "HD Radio AM should be banned from nighttime
broadcasting, until circa 2015, at which time analog can be switched-
off and HD can take over".

I recognize that HD is not flawless.




The problem is most of the folks on these groups think HD has
absolutely *no* positives whatsoever. They are biased towards the
"hate" side of the HD argument, and hate anyone (like me) who says
even the slightest positive thing about the standard.

They are the biased ones.
I am sitting on the fence (recognizing both + and - the standard).


If digital radio were instead marketed honestly with respect to the real
benefits it provides in certain situations, such as mobile, you wouldn't
hear all the animosity.

Utter ********. A thousand stations of crap is still crap. It is the
dilution of funds by excessive quantity that prevents radio stations
putting together a competent programme list, which takes money, money
and more money.

Fewer, better funded radio stations are the way to quality. And the
first step to that is to remove all the radio stations which are
simply record players. This goes in spades for ghetto radio, where the
entire output is a single genre. And in spades and trumps for radio
stations which push loathsome religious agendas.

Is "quality" playing old Big Band music, Jazz, and Classical?

Personally I'd call that, not crap, but definitely "boring". I like
those genres, but I also like Pop, Rock, and Hip-hop on top of that.
I like variety. Most people my age like variety, sampling a little of
everything.



I'd rather see lots and lots and lots of channels, and then let
Darwinian Survival of the Fittest happen..... good channels survive,
and bad channels starve & die. I prefer the invisible hand of the

Music, music music - all we hear about is pigging music. That is not
what I want from radio - I have my own collection of music that I can
dip into any time I want. What I don't have, the internet is there to
tell me about. Music is a shameful waste of radio resource.

Sometimes Darwin needs a little help, and arguably that help is just
as Darwinian as anything. Channels don't survive or die based on their
quality - if there were a million, then on average perhaps they would,
but when we are talking about a few dozen, Darwinian statistics don't
work. My view is that simply playing records is a waste of radio
spectrum, which is far too precious a resource to waste this way.
Radio stations must generate material that is not available through
other media.

Supposedly XEEP in Mexico City is testing by having analog on its licensed
