Still won't admit you haven't compared HD and non-HD tuners
side-by-side...

I have...and I have seen research where the public has compared them.

Inevitably, they choose the HD tuner.

There has been no effort to make the public aware of any of the formats
available on HD-2's.

You can say there hasn't been any "effort to
make the public aware of the formats available on HD-2's" (which isn't
true, by the way), but there's been a hell of a lot of inventory used
to publicize HD itself.

They have publicized "HD"...but not anything that's on the HD-2 formats.

While the public is aware of something called "HD"...they have no reason to
embrace it.

The public has virtually no awareness of the formats or programmaming
avaialble on HD-2's

Things like FM and stereo took time.

You don't have the same kind of environment, or nearly the same amount
of time. The iPod killed HD radio...

Radio is not an Ipod. It does more than an Ipod can do. People use radio
differently.

THis will as well, like digital
TV....most people aren't trashing one set and buying another. They are
waiting until the first one goes and then buying a replacement one...and
guess what...it's digital!

More obfuscation. Of course new TVs are digital- analog is being
phased out.

But people haven't been replacing their sets simply to buy digital. They
are replacing sets when they need to, and finding digital sets are whats
available as replacements.

Same for radio.

Everything "messes with the sound", speakers, antennas, microphones,
recievers, room ambiance. Most of the public are not 'purists'.

Not even a nice straw man.

It's the truth.

it's not the point I was making. Typical devious HD shill. Go away.

Can't handle the truth, huh?

Bingo.

Just like FM.

It wasn't until they were aware of programming that interested them.

And there's been no effort to market the HD-2's programming.

Not so much.

Very much. Only the time line is different.

It wasn't until they were aware of programming that interested them.

It still hasn't changed since I last mentioned that you probably don't
have time to wait as long.

Why? Is there a finish line?

It can take as long as it takes.

And there's been no effort to market the HD-2's programming.

By who? Maybe not on a national level, but I've heard individual
stations do it (as I also mentioned before).

(As was mentioned before) Individual stations have marketed HD as a
whole...and have mentioned the new "stations between the stations"....but no
effort ahs been made to tell the public "Hey if you like Jazz/Folk/70's,
etc....then get an HD radio and you can get these all the time!"

I know tons of Jazz and Classical fans who are unhappy their stations went
away in recent years. If they knew that $100 would get them the format
unlimited and without commercials, then they would certainly part with the
$100. The problem is they don't know what formats are available.

Wanna good guess why they don't push those extra channels/formats? I will
venture a damn good guess that it's because they don't want to lose the ad
income from the people going to those other channels where there are no ads.
