Default IBOC obsolete out of the box.



Instead listeners must buy another radio, when their current radios

work.

Thats why it will take time for HD to gain traction.

No one expected people to throw out all their radio and buy new ones.

The new ones will start appearing in cars, etc...and will simply replace the
others.

This is why all the naysayers who want to proclaim it dead after 2 years are
wrong.

As was stated here...it brings added functionality to the old technologyu of
broadcasting....and operators like the extra streams.

It's not going anywhere.

So far IBOC stations are

simulcasts of existing stations, or mostly vanilla jockless jukeboxes.

Vanilla Jockless jukeboxes? Sounds just like satellite radio!

"More power for HD digital could mean more interference"


Thats always been the argument against any power increases over the years.
Someone always complains about interference.

This time is no different. But more power means more listeners.

And Telamon is as stupid as a rock.

Atari 2600's are still quite popular video toasters, as a matter of fact.

Vista IS a piece of ****. Thousands have reverted to XP from Vista, and MS
has backed off on curtailing support for XP. Computer manufacturers are
supplying copies of XP to end users who are unhappy with Vista (especially
as used in laptops) because it's a resource hog and it's security features
and DRM are royal PITA's.

Happily cruising along on Xubuntu 8.04, on my 22 Watt Everex, thank-you
very much.

I think the time has passed where manufacturers can evenput XP on a computer
anymore...unless it's a small local shop.

Dell, HP, Gateway and others, thru their MS agreement are not offerring PC's
with XP...even if you ask especially for it.



Many quietly provide an after-purchase path to"upgrade" back to XP.
Vista is a disaster. Microsoft eats a big **** sandwich. Linux is free.
