IBiquity – Where’s the “HD” in “HD” radio?

Now that's a cool strategy. On at least a dozen different HD receivers, I have never had this happen. Nor, until now in your message, have I ever heard of it happening. Well, Eduardo it happens all the time on the Sony XDR-S3HD. Which is practically being given away now because nobody wants them and places like Best Buy, etc lost their ass on them. I can't imagine why any company would want to waste anymore developmental dollars on ibiquity "HD" technology again after seeing the dismal sales and performance it produces. The other thing I like about "HD" is when the analog and digital signals are out of sync by several seconds and the signal just isn't strong enough to get an "HD" lock. It goes back and forth replaying the delayed signal over and over while it constantly switches back and forth from analog to "HD" and back to analog and then back to "HD". Over and Over. Since I live more the 20 miles from the nearest "HD" station this is pretty much the norm. It's a real treat to hear how screwed up system is and how poorly implemented the digital component is. Another thing I love seeing is when an "HD" station advertises their website on the goofy little screen so you can use your Web radio to hear them rather than their terrestrial radio signal. That’s a nice touch. Looks to me like most stations know what a bust ibiquity "HD" is. Someday, when iBiquity "HD" is just a memory of another failed technology I'll recall with fond memories what a joke it was. |

Eduardo - with all due respect to you (which isn't much) what I say is happening on the Sony is happening. With the radio tuned to a non HD AM station, adjacent AM HD stations cause the receiver to switch to HD which results in the receive audio to shut off for several seconds. This occurs regularly on AM. There is so much bad stuff about iBiquity HD in it's current state that it's hard to know where to start, aside from the fact that the Sony is a clunky piece of technology. You can argue all night about whose fault it is - iBiquity or the manufacturers but the consumer doesn't care. All they know is that they don't want it and rightly so. |

Several of our LA offices have those, and they never do what you say they do. You either have a defective unit or ar dealing in hypoerbole. |
