From Clear Channel-owned Inside Radio - IBOC is a disaster!
 
"IBOC is yet another disaster. As people go out the door by the
hundreds, the higher electric bills continue to run IBOC transmission
systems that a teeny audience receives, why bother. Let’s face it,
in
this economy, buying an IBOC radio is a luxury. That doesn’t even
take into account the lack of programming running on that wasted
power. Being an engineer, I watched our power bills nearly double at
the transmitter sites due to the extra air conditioning and the great
analog transmitter suddenly becoming a world class heater running in
hybrid mode... Max Turner is a former regional engineering manager
for
Susquehanna Radio. The views expressed are his own. Reach Max at

Yup, Eduardo is spot-on with his assessmant of IBOC. Good-luck with
that 10db power increase - stations will not be able to afford double
electrical bills, and total replacements of tranmission systems. All
of this only to line the pockets of iBiquity. HD radios have never
sold, and stations are turning off IBOC. Good going, Bob Struble -
another disaster, after your disaster at Westinghouse. Do you think
any other companies will hire you as CEO? Doubtful. Your legacy will
be the biggest scam ever fobbled onto radio, and one of the biggest
tech disasters in history! Is your staff still threatening stations to
convert? Signs of a disreputable, desperate company. SiPort lied about
its low power chip of 110mW, becasue that is in HD Radio Playback, not
live HD Radio. Samsung's chip is still a power-hog, as is your ****ty
boat-anchor KRI armband paper weight. Doesn't Clear Channel own Inside
Radio? LOL!

I'm trying to understand the statement "SiPort lied about its low power
chip of 110mW, becasue that is in HD Radio Playback, not live HD Radio."

What is the difference between a playback and live HD? Maybe you are
saying the playback signal is perfect and a live signal is not so more
processing is required causing the chip to draw more power?

Maybe you could point to some technical links about this.
