And your continuing attempt to divert the discussion to your denials of fact say a lot about the intent of much of what you've posted in this forum. Right now, no chip and no receiver is adressable. in other words, there is no way in hell to do paid services on HD today or in the near future. There were some tests, and the system is able to do data transmission in any channel other than HD-1. There is no use yet for this type of service and there is no chipset or receiver that can pick such a service up. The topic of conversation is: Are they trying to do it? And are you telling the truth? You've been saying all along conditional programming access is not in the plan for HD, and you know this by virtue of your specialized and internal knowledge not available to the public. As far as I know, there has been no testing of controlled limited access programming with a subscription model in mind. There have been limited tests of data streams, with examples being traffic data and stock quotes. Nobody is doing this, and no equipment exists to do it. By iBiquity's own admission, in published word and practical test, conditional programming access IS part of the HD plan. So, you're either knowingly not telling the truth, or you're not as intimately informed as you claim. My read is that conditional access can be made available. it is not at present. And I know of no station planning to do this, as there is, so far, no practical model for the economic part. Either way....Yes, they are trying to implement conditional access. Proving it can be done and doing it are two different things. With FMeXtra and SCA, there is no apparent demand or advantage. And no...you're not telling the truth. Something that can be done and something radio stations want to do are very different things. Tell us all about it, NAMBLA dude. |
