One of the turning points on the way to the demise of traditional

because legacy stations would lose their higher-power legacy
facilities and AM would have equal footing with FM.

Eureka did not even get to the NAB level; the band in the US is
reserved for military uses. It has failed miserably in canada, too.

Since then, Sirius and XM filled the void. Radio has been bleeding
red ever since.
No, satellite has been bleeding. Clear Channel had EBITDA of $1.8
billion last year while the satellite companies collectively lost $1.6
billion.

Radio billings were up 2% last year.
Everybody's bleeding 'cept for me and my monkey.

No, you are just lying and making up statistics that do not exist.
Billing back to the 60's is on the RAB website.
Y'all are bleeding audience, if not cash. How much of that CCU figure was
TV? Outdoor? Attractions?

0% attractions which they spun off several years ago.

Radio is the largest part.

Go to the RAB website, and see the billing figures for the last nearly 60
years.

AM radio is losing audience, as few new listeners come in. FM is at
approximately the same levels as 10, 15, 20 years ago.

Still waiting for those quotes Eduardo. If you got time to BS in other

msg posted:

As for SiPort and CES, there are over 400 hits on Google citing
articles describing the product; here is a Radio World quote from
http://www.rwonline.com/pages/s.0121/t.10856.html:

Radio World Email Newsletters :: The Leslie Report

SiPort Unveils Single Chip IC for HD-R

by Leslie Stimson, 1.24.2008 Leslie Stimson is the News Editor and
Washington Bureau Chief for Radio World.


SiPort's HD Radio chipset was an interesting highlight of this
month's CES,
though it wasn't out on the floor. What I saw in the company's
suite in
the
Hilton was pretty interesting.

The semiconductor company displayed what its engineers say is a
single-chip
solution for the portable market to invited attendees.

In an exclusive interview, SiPort Vice President of Engineering
Aiman Kabakibo told me his company's chip consumes roughly 120 to
125 mW of power.

The chip, in development since 2005, can also support DAB and DAB+,
RDS and
the FM subcarrier-based MSN Direct signal in addition to HD Radio
and Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcast.

"In order for us to achieve the lowest power [consumption] and
footprint
we had to start with a clean piece of paper and do this from the
ground up so we could optimize for power," he said.

The company displayed two prototype MP3 players with integrated FM
HD-R
receivers using its chip.

A company spokesman said SiPort expects to launch its chip with
major
customers this summer.

http://www.rwonline.com/pages/s.0121/t.10856.html

Thanks for the link.

OK, now I'll explain what this is to you. It is a thing called
vaporware. Why do I call it vaporware? Let's take this one step at a
time.

According to Leslie Stimson's article:

"SiPort¹s HD Radio chipset was an interesting highlight of this month¹s
CES, though it wasn¹t out on the floor. What I saw in the company¹s
suite in the Hilton was pretty interesting."

It is not out on the floor because it is not a product yet and is still
under development. This is typical behavior when you are trying to
convince someone of a product that's not ready. It's called high
pressure sales talk. You can't do this out on a exhibition floor
effectively. You should understand this tactic.

Leslie Stimson's article:
"The semiconductor company displayed what its engineers say is a
single-chip solution for the portable market to invited attendees."

What to make of this statement? Pretty vague isn't it. My best guess is
they just showed IC packages that you can see old picture of on the net.
I would not take this statement to mean he saw something working because
it is just to easy to say so.

Leslie Stimson's article:
"A company spokesman said SiPort expects to launch its chip with major
customers this summer."

The rest is nearly meaningless fluff talk by SiPort except for this last
line, which means it does not exist yet. Will it ever exist? Maybe this
summer or maybe not.

This company does not have its own fabrication facilities and will
contract with a firm such as TSMC to make the parts. This will probably
cost millions of dollars and they are most likely looking for financial
backing. That's what is going on in the hotel suite.

Now, Eduardo tell me again how crow tastes.

Looks to me like the Samsung chipset is klunky compared to the competitor:

"...Samsung's HD Radio baseband processor, based on Tensilica's
programmable core, integrates the baseband, memory, SDRAM and flash in a
system-in-package measuring 9 x 9 mm. Including the companion RF chip,
the chip set's total power consumption is 150 mW...

...Sunder Velamuri, vice president of marketing at SiPort, said power
dissipation of the mixed-signal device is expected to be "around 100 mW
in typical configurations." He added that the chip, essentially "a
software radio," can tune and demodulate not only analog AM/FM and HD
Radio but also DAB and DMB-T, making it ready for the global market.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is fabricating the device..."
There are no chips developed for HD radio. Sansung and TI have some
years old notes on how you can use a set of their respective general
purpose chips DSP/CPU and analog baseband devices to make an HD radio.
For these parts to work as an HD radio they need additional support
devices and the license to use the ibiquity software. A lot of power
must be used to drive all this.

That's not what it says. It says it uses ca. 100 mW in "typical
configurations". It says it "can tune and demodulate" so I would think
any "additional support devices" wouldn't be that big a deal.

Maybe you should take a look at the proposed block diagrams before you
open your mouth and the specifications I read were 500 mW not 100 mW.


I just read the quote provided. Thanks for the obsessive behavior.

I'm not sure what it is you are addressing here but the subject is
what is available from the semiconductor web sites. I can tell you for
a fact that any manufacturer out there recognizes the benefit of
getting their products on their web sites.

Try getting NXP (ex Philips) to understand that ;-(


For chips that actually exist you can find its full specifications,
application notes, and if it has a complex or difficult implementation
it will have a reference design that some application engineer put
together. And of course you find news like when samples will be
available and when production will commence.

Again, it very much depends on your choice of vendor; some have websites
that are truly impenetrable. I find myself going first to
datasheetarchive.com
nowadays. And when I design with 'mature' devices, I can forget most
manufacturer's
websites as a first choice; the chips 'exist'; it is just that the vendor
has chosen to make using them difficult.

In my previous post I was bemoaning the elimination of mature software,
manuals
and datasheets that cost very little to host, which seems to be the result
of company business decisions and ownership changes, and also the loss
of many
private sites that used to mirror such materials -- gone for undocumented
reasons. As to new announcements, I used to get some 80 trade journals per
month (the bingo-card renewal process took a lot of time) and found that
I was better informed with the mass of paper than I have ever been on the
'net.

The same unviable half of all stations today is the group from the 90's and
80's and earlier that could not make money based on bad facilities, being a

about two AMs on the average per market exist in the Top 100 US markets that
are viable... the rest are barely suited for niche programming such as paid
religion, brokered shows and ethnic programming.

More than 80% of the audience is on AM, and so is most of the revenue.


Haha. Corporations can't run radio at a profit so they figure nobody
can. What morons.

Looks to me like the Samsung chipset is klunky compared to the
competitor:

"...Samsung's HD Radio baseband processor, based on Tensilica's
programmable core, integrates the baseband, memory, SDRAM and flash in a
system-in-package measuring 9 x 9 mm. Including the companion RF chip,
the chip set's total power consumption is 150 mW...

...Sunder Velamuri, vice president of marketing at SiPort, said power
dissipation of the mixed-signal device is expected to be "around 100 mW
in typical configurations." He added that the chip, essentially "a
software radio," can tune and demodulate not only analog AM/FM and HD
Radio but also DAB and DMB-T, making it ready for the global market.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is fabricating the device..."
There are no chips developed for HD radio. Sansung and TI have some
years old notes on how you can use a set of their respective general
purpose chips DSP/CPU and analog baseband devices to make an HD radio.
For these parts to work as an HD radio they need additional support
devices and the license to use the ibiquity software. A lot of power
must be used to drive all this.

That's not what it says. It says it uses ca. 100 mW in "typical
configurations". It says it "can tune and demodulate" so I would think
any "additional support devices" wouldn't be that big a deal.
Maybe you should take a look at the proposed block diagrams before you
open your mouth and the specifications I read were 500 mW not 100 mW.

I just read the quote provided. Thanks for the obsessive behavior.

Sounds like Daddy's mixture needs an adjustment.

Your jokes don't really get much better with age and repetition.

One of the turning points on the way to the demise of
traditional broadcasting in the USA was the NAB's flat refusal
to adopt Eureka 147 because legacy stations would lose their
higher-power legacy facilities and AM would have equal footing
with FM.

Eureka did not even get to the NAB level; the band in the US is
reserved for military uses. It has failed miserably in canada,
too.

Since then, Sirius and XM filled the void. Radio has been
bleeding red ever since.
No, satellite has been bleeding. Clear Channel had EBITDA of
$1.8 billion last year while the satellite companies
collectively lost $1.6 billion.

Radio billings were up 2% last year.
Everybody's bleeding 'cept for me and my monkey.
No, you are just lying and making up statistics that do not
exist. Billing back to the 60's is on the RAB website.


Y'all are bleeding audience, if not cash. How much of that CCU
figure was TV? Outdoor? Attractions?
What's up Eduardo. Where are those quotes from Radio World?
I'm still waiting for those quotes Eduardo. Come on key clown get with
it. If you have time to post your life story you have time to back up
your claims but you won't do it because you can't.

Man, it's a real battle between RFI and Eduardo this week.
Still waiting for those quotes Eduardo. If you got time to BS in other
threads you can post a quote backing up your claims.

Jeez! Give it up, willya? Did Ace send you some of his moonshine or
what...

Yes, you defiantly need to adjust that mixture.


Defiantly? Mixture? WTF?

You never miss an opportunity to tell us what kind of neo-rich guy status
symbols you have. We are not impressed. Classy money impresses without
spending excessive money. BMWs are crap (although this 300 HP entry level
rocket may change my opinion:

BMWs are good cars. I picked mine out of several options because it had HD
and the most comfortable seating. A Maseratti is expensive... for someone
who drives about 20 thousand miles a year, a BMW is an excellent price vs.
comfort option.

How big a piece of iBiquity does BMW own? How many $100s per radio is
iBiquity paying BMW to install the radio?

BMW does not own any part of iBiquity as far as I know.


You conveniently chopped the thread up so the subject is missing. Let
me refresh your memory:

I sez: "The only people putting money into this turd are dinocasters and
American carmakers. That should tell you something.

Your retort (complete with insult): "Funny. My BMW came with HD. BMW is
German,in case you are so clueless as to not know."

Finally though, you do eventually agree with my original statement:

"BMW does not own any part of iBiquity as far as I know."

Thanks for being a prick.

And yet, built in Spartanburg, North Carolina. Go figure.

Only the X5 and, I guess, the X3. 3 series, Z, built in Germany.



Only a 3? You disappoint us.


At least my K-LT is the top of the line.


They are still prone to break.



I haven't had any problem with that. But they are high maintenance.




That's a motorbike, isn't it?

I thought we were talking about wasting money on cars.

A BMW is a BMW.

And, on the open road, most of the time, 4 wheels is two wheels too
many.
