It truly is no "LONGER" for the masses. The "Giant success period" is over. Do you have any idea how ridiculous the material is that you post???

HD Radio is supposed to be for the masses, but only radio-geeks/audiophiles have shown interest - now, with HD Radio subscriptions coming, this positions HD Radio even more with Satellite Radio. Of couse, that "several hundred thousand" units sold, is a gross exaggeration (minus units returned).

Give it a chance, it will make it to the mainstream masses. For now, it's still fairly new tech.

As far as subscriptions go, those will be necessary for extended services, such as specials, live concerts, and extended data services not for the main broadcast signals. 8)

"First HD Radio Sold"

"Digital Corporation announced today that an Iowa buyer became "first in the nation" to purchase an HD Radio tuner. Nathan Franzen purchased a Kenwood KTC-HR100 HD Radio tuner from the Ultimate Electronics store in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Monday, January 5, 2004."

Google Trends for "HD Radio" versus iPod:

http://www.google.com/trends?q="hd+radio",+ipod&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all

The new iPod was introduced in 2004, along with the first HD radio sold - the HD Radio Alliance ad campaign has been going on for a year, with HD radios available to consumers. As you can see from the Google Trends graph, which calculates the number of searches for "HD Radio" and "iPod", there should be some sign of a heartbeat, by now, for HD Radio. Notice how the graph for iPods, which is a highly-successful technology, took-off and has remained fairly constant- this is a perfect example of failed versus highly-successful technologies. If HD Radio was going to replace analog radio, it would have needed a similar reaction, as the iPod. HD Radio is just competing with Satellite Radio, as a niche technology.

When you get word of the new GE Profile series of stoves could you let me know. You can send it to the following address;

And again, ALL HD2 and HD3 streams are not only free, AND USUALLY AT A HIGHER BITRATE THAN SATELLITE RADIO SO THEY SOUND BETTER, but they are ALL commercial free! Every freakin' one of them. Stations CAN'T run commercials on HD2 and HD3!

There is an agreement among broadcasters not to run commercials for 18 months, but that agreement was about 6 months ago - there will never be many HD radios in the hands of consumers, so the HD channels will never be profitable. Subscription-enabled HD radios are due out this Fall, but consumers will never pay subscriptions for the censored HD channels. Both, Satellite and HD Radio are headed into the toilet:

Not all broadcasters have that agreement. Only those who are members of the "HD Alliance". Some broadcasters are running limited spots on their HD2 or 3 channels. And some are simulcasting their AM news or talk stations on HD2 or 3 FM stations.
