Is this what the Ibiquity HD crowd want the average Joe to attach to his portable HD radios just to pick up the IBOC signal and get a 'lock' on the HD?

I get it. It's Anti HD Radio humor.

It's a picture of a television antenna, but it's supposed to be funny.

Ha Ha.

Don't forget to order your antenna today for those portable HD radios coming at the end of this year... You might want to get one before Mike or RFBurns so you can brag about how well those HD signals are coming in from 80-100 miles away from the HD broadcast station!

Yet they "can't hear" the digital signal?
 
Obviously this would be for AM HD? :p

But, it's not totally impractical. In fact, it's very much environmentally friendly. This AM HD Radio antenna also doubles as a clothes line. Hmmm... Perhaps I should start a thread with the title, "HD Radio Good for the Environment!"

It says "high definition television antenna"! Nowhere, is there a mention of HD radio!

I see you don't see the HUMOR in the post... Let's laugh a little and not be so stiff!

Not so, there might be whales or dolphins beaching themselves due to HD IBOC signals interfering with their ultrasonic communications and cause more environmental damage than you think!

Has Ibiquity or the FCC LOOKED into the possible dangers to the environment or heart pacemakers or the health of animal and human species with the advent of broadcasting in HD?

I bet you can't answer that?

Well see, that's a plus, too. There is an extremist element within in the green movement that says we and the animals are the root cause of all greenhouse gases. So, if COFDM signals somehow cause pacemakers to cease, then we effectively reduce CO² emissions.

"HD Radio Cuts Greenhouse Gases!"

But the problem with that is the FAT CATS at Ibiquity and the NAB will be eating all that fine food at restaurants and will make up the same greenhouse gases thereby continuing the CO² emissions., so you see nothing has changed except lining the pockets of greedy lawyers on class action suits against Ibiquity and the FCC for allowing the HD digitals to interfere with pacemakers and the deaths of millions!

at the risk of being "on topic".........

thanks for the story on HDTV antennas, its nice to know they're making a come back.
 
Agreed... It kind of irritates me that these antenna are called "HDTV" antennas since they do not care if the signals are NTSC, 8VSB, Standard-Def, High-Def, etc., but then I understand the marketing reason. Most people don't know what the heck UHF means these days! And, in two years, they will only pick up DTV signals in the United States, if the February 2009 analog sunset date sticks this time.
 
I apologize! I honestly thought someone had found the link without reading it and posted it or deliberately tried to create a fraud, not unlike what some posters to this forum have done.

Also, Fred Meyer stores sell "digital" AA and AAA batteries and Radio Shack sells "digital" RCA (Phono) cables..."digital"-everything is the buzzword (no pun intended on IBOC) of the day, as "turbo"-fill-in-the-blank was a few years ago.

Portable satellite radios have an antenna ON TOP OF THE HEADPHONE, so you can only use the 'phones that come with the radio. Now THAT is funny!
