Eduardo - The therapy is working! You're almost cured!
"What might have worked prior to the recession has lost any hope of success now; the potential of new models of receivers in an economy where people have all reduced discretionary spending is nil. AM HD is and was a dreadful idea, and the best way to discover this is to buy an HD car radio and listen. To say it is annoying is an understatement. I had a belief in HD on FM. But there are no radios anywhere at retail, and scant few on the web. What could have worked were the economy robust will be like AM stereo... too late to meet market needs. In a few years, stations will have developed robust new alternative delivery options, and HD won't be one of them. Like a relationship gone bad, it's hard to admit when something is over. I have pretty much decided that HD is not even worth the discussion time any more... with an exception being to hope that the 10 db increase in digital power on FM not be approved." |

I do applaud Eduardo for finally telling the truth, after so many lies, but his credibility still remains almost zero. Interesting, what he said almost mirrored the article today from Inside Radio. Still, another article today from Radio World on Electric Programming Guides for HD Radio - what a total joke and complete waste of money. Just more things to complicate HD radios, and make them even more expensive. Makes one grateful for simple $10 analog radios like the Sony ICF-S10MK2. |

A show of hands for those who knew that the IBOC booters would blame HD Radio's failure on the recession - ME! |

Do you have an actual ? Citation ? [Link] with d'Eduardo's Name posted with it . . . Otherwise this appears to be another one of your made-up {fabricated} posts about HD-Radio Failing ~ RHF |

A Sony XDR-S3HD which I purchased at a "clearance sale" for $49 (regularly $200 approx.) because they couldn't unload them fast enough. No matter how you slice it HD radio is a disaster as consumers are rightly showing. |

No matter how you slice it HD radio is a disaster as consumers are rightly showing. I wasn't referring to you at all. I wanted to point out to RHF that the quote from David Eduardo did exist and was posted on another forum. The Eduardo quote was inconsistent with David Eduardo's previous statements on the quality of HD radio audio. I'm glad you found a HD radio deal you're happy with, although I think that's about triple what a HD radio is worth. Frank Dresser |

The AMers (and low-power FMers) would have been much better off pushing for all licensees to get a digital channel in a dedicated (non-mediumwave) digital band, where all the nighttime interference would be nonexistent, where AMs and FMs and low-power stations and high-power stations would have started over on an equal footing and with absolutely perfect coverage of their markets. But they were sold a bill of goods by the big chains, who wanted to preserve the superiority of the facilities they had paid many millions for -- superiority over the small station owner. IBOC preserves the inferior -- some might say hopelessly, impossibly inferior -- status of the small broadcaster. And that was its primary purpose all along. In short, these small businessmen have been totally snookered and hoodwinked. Like the DX listener and the ordinary listener, they've been unfairly cheated out of digital technology's promise and the excellent service to the community they could have had with a dedicated digital band.

If it is indeed Strom, according to Wikipedia he was released from prison on September 3, 2008. dxAce Michigan USA And, as always, don't let your children attend Louisville Technical Institute. They've hired at least one dufus who once claimed to have a PhD, and who knows, there may be more dufi there. Sounds like him. He's a smart guy. I knew him years ago in a previous life. Hope he's fixed his problems. |

With every good wish, Kevin. --http://kevinalfredstrom.com/- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - iNiquity's investors include just the larger broadcast chains - they purposefully made IBOC too expensive for the smaller broadcasters, and IBOC was designed to jam the smaller broadcasters off the dial. Yup, that's why iNiquity wanted to convert on the existing band. Other countries have tried converting to digital on new bands, but as in the UK, digital stations are shutting down and transitions has stalled. Very few buy radios anymore, and certainly not expensive digital radios. Governments are trying to force digital adoptions, but consumers have spoken. |
