Brazil knows the true value of “HD” radio

[radioskeptic]

There are some interesting comments about “HD” on the web site http://www.drm-brasil.org/node/21 . It’s in Portuguese, but here’s a rough translation: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translat...rasil.org/node/21&lp=pt_en&btnTrUrl=Translate

Yes, the machine translation is terrible. It’s disconcerting to see “ondas medias” (medium waves) rendered as “average waves,” “bandas laterais” (sidebands) as “lateral bands” and “canal” (channel in this context) as “canal,” but it will nevertheless show you that Brazilians seem to have a clear idea of the true worth (ha!) of “HD” radio.

Note that there are no comments—not one!—in defense of Iniquity’s junk technology. If you wonder why there aren’t, it’s probably because Iniquity and the Alliance aren’t investing any money in training internet trolls for that purpose overseas. (If you think I’m kidding about companies and political factions running training programs for internet trolls, see http://www.alternet.org/media/14919...mb_down_online_conversations/null?page=entire)

I can’t help but suspect than anybody who defends “HD” is part of a carefully cultivated Astroturf campaign!

Or it might be that nobody thinks it's even necessary to defend any other technology on DRM's own site... and in any case, it's likely the forum moderators would delete it anyway. If someone posts about how good Nautel's transmitters are on (pretending for a moment that it exists) a Harris user forum.
