Keefe Bartels investigation into HD Radio picking up steam - LMFAO!!!
Law Firm's HD Radio Probe Picking Up Steam?
Keefe Bartels, the law firm that's looking into whether consumers are unhappy with their new HD Radio car receivers, is hearing lots of stories. Whether legal action will result remains unclear. We reported on the New Jersey firm's efforts last week. John Keefe, a managing partner, tells me the firm is still in the information- gathering stage and has not filed a lawsuit on behalf of unhappy consumers — though what it finds could potentially lead to that from the personal injury firm. Keefe became interested in the technology when he bought a new BMW a couple of years ago. He says the dealer told him HD Radio wouldn't work but that it was built into the cost of the car, because the receiver was part of a package. He says the dealer threw in a set of floor mats to compensate. Keefe told me he heard the AM signal blending between digital and analog and back again in a demo. He called it "bumping," which sounded like upcutting speech, as that happened. The firm is soliciting comments from unhappy consumers regarding HD Radio on its website. Keefe says it is receiving complaints from "all kinds of people" and wants to determine how individuals have been affected. He didn't say how many exactly or go into details. Keefe, who describes himself as a consumer advocate lawyer, says he wants to understand if potentially faulty car HD Radio receivers have cost consumers money — from paying more for the car because of the package and then either not being able to receive a reliable digital signal or because there are not a lot of digital signals in their area. When I contacted iBiquity for my first story on this, they had no comment. It sounds like most of the complaints he's getting are from AM listeners. He's also getting an earful from radio industry people, so this should be interesting. I'll keep you up to date. http://www.rwonline.com/article/106152 SMS- I told you the investigation would escalate! Broadcasters will file a class-action, too! It's over for iNiquity - LMFAO!!! Time to put that scammer Struble in prison for major criminal fraud against the American People, and broadcasters! |

Bit rates versus FM radio (was: Keefe Bartels investigation intoHD Radio picking up steam)

I think what your are hearing is more in your mind than anywhere else. [...] Those comparisons are interesting, and there's some truth in them. But it's a huge simplification to say that 96 kbps "is equal to FM radio." FM radio has drawbacks and artifacts, and so does a 96 kbps mp3 or AAC stream. Maybe they're roughly the same level of degradation to most people's ears, but each has a very different sort of degradation. Some people object more to the odd added "details" and phasing/intermodulation anomalies of compressed digital than to the increased hiss and (pre-emphasis related) reduction in high-end levels of FM. And some feel the opposite. And Dave is right. A compressed-data signal that sounds quite acceptable in the car, or on speakers in a noisy home, can sound _much_ worse on headphones or in a pristine, silent listening environment, where its subtle details can be heard. At 260 or 320 kbps, I'm very happy with stereo mp3s, even on headphones. At 128 kbps, headphones and my best speakers reveal some occasionally annoying flaws. With every good wish, Kevin Alfred Strom. -- http://kevinalfredstrom.com/ |

Back when AM was king and AM stations had REAL PROGRAMS, locally-produced, not sent down the line from a studio in god-only-knows where with canned music. And back before the days of "talk radio." I don't know when was the last time I even tuned to the AM band. And now, the FM bands are being invaded by wackjobs -- half the FM stations in my area are "christian" radio and the rightwing hate jocks are invading FM territory. There has been "talk radio" all my life, but it was much more limited and had a better, more balanced sort of talk. My personal favorite was Ira Blue on KGO, second I guess was Herb Jepko on KSL. KSL only had talk at night, I think KGO had it 24/7, or close to it, they used to bill themselves as "People to People Radio 81." I listen to KGO because it's live and local and if something happens the on-duty news person will interrupt the regularly scheduled programming. |
