Listen to HD Radio and thousands of other stations here!

SUPERCASTER said:
1-Your computer gets thousands more digital stations and formats then your HD Radio does, including streams from most HD stations accross the country, and even more stations from around the world. Not just a few local HD Radio stations.
2-You are already paying for a computer and internet connection. Nothing extra to buy. Truely free (unlike HD Radio).
3-Computer streams are much more reliable then short range, intermittent, rebuffering, reverting to analog, HD Radio.
4-Your Boston Acoustics HD Receptor is as tied down as your computer, with power brick, 2 antennas, power line, and often spotty reception.
5-Computers with internet connections are not subject to to indoor signal attenuation and multipath. HD Radio's drop digital packets and mute or fold back to analog when subjected to multipath or interference.
6-Computers can get the HD Radio streams at night from AM's all over the country.
7-Many computers have sub-woofers and better audio amps and speakers then the BA HD Receptor, some even have 5.1 surround sound, graphic equalizers, and effects using a free Winamp player or equal.
8-You can record and save digital HD webstreams to your hard drive, MP3 player, or CD burner.
9-Higher quality streams at higher bitrates and even 5.1 surround sound are available on the internet using the same AAC Plus codec HD Radio uses.
10-With a computer you can listen to digital HD quality audio in the suburbs, outside the city grade signal contour, or in concrete or steel reinforced buildings.
11-Almost unlimited program choices are available from the internet, and podcasts, while with HD Radio your choices are limited to local stations with frequent format flips and controlled by the whims of nearby broadcasters.
12-Many Sirius and XM stations are streaming on the net, and are available free.
And that is just for starters.

Yes, but where you are 100% wrong is where you think that people will choose one or the other. Many people will have both.

I know that hurts...

By the way, are you ever going to offer an explaination on why you removed your post about "pro-IBOC Psycho-Terrorists" taking over this board, other than it was a huge lie? I'd like to know more about that...
 
"Yes, but where you are 100% wrong is where you think that people will choose one or the other. Many people will have both."

Why would they, when most people have Internet/ISP connections - why pay $300 for an ugly Receptor HD, when Internet Radio is free, and can be listened to, while accessing the Internet. You are tied to a table-top receiver, with a 7-foot dipole antenna, which you admitted to having it hidden, while I can take my PORTABLE PLL AM/FM receiver everywhere, and can get up to 1000 miles, at night, with just the internal ferrite bar antenna ! Internet Radio can get hundreds of local/national/international stations - why, just be chained to local stations, with HD Radio ! And, computer streams have MUCH higher bitrates, than HD Radio (max. 96 kbs). BTW, the public is speaking out, with its lack of interest in HD Radio, with the HD Radio Cartel advertising Amazon.com/hdradio, but the Receptor HD generally sits between 3,000 - 7,500, in the electonics rankings ! ;D

Nice try.

Show me the post where I "admitted" hiding a 7-foot dipole.

Another lie. Do you even know how to tell the truth anymore. How comical - you used to at least be subtle...not you just flat out make wild untrue claims! :D

So anyway, you'll be providing the link where I wrote that, right. All of the old posts are still on this board.
 
Here, we go again - no, management has removed non-related topics, including your eulogy thread. Funny, you didn't debate other points in my post...

ANOTHER LIE!

All the posts are still there...even the one that you "say" is a eulogy, even though you couldn't point out anyplace where I said I was not coming back. Management hasn't removed anything other than your personal attacks.

I don't have a problem with what you say about streaming audio. I like it myself. I just don't think that people will not buy HD because of streaming, just like people haven't given up radio for iPods.

Anyway, please provide the proof that I said I "hid" a seven foot dipole. I can point to several where I explicitly say that I don't use one.

Man, you're full of whoppers today!
 
Some lunatic wrote earlier in this thread:

actually, I am getting a kick out of making you all respond to my threads !

Folks... he is exposing his real nature here. He THRIVES on your interactions with him. I have been saying this for weeks. As long as you keep answering him and talking to him directly, he will continue to post his moronic comments here and the longer it will take for this topic on this message board to return to some kind of "normalcy".

And later on, the same lunatic said:

management has removed non-related topics

I am surprised I didn't also see:

"Management has been reported to management for removing non-related topics."

Sorry guys, I couldn't resist. :)

Oh, this pro-IBOC'er is up to it again - you post the same criticism over and over again. When you post, try posting something of value for once ! No one is listening to you, especially me.

Wow, are you really that slow? Cal is very anti-IBOC. Unlike you, people like us respect him.

Good job, alienate the people who could actually help your cause.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed, are we? :D
 
Wow, like I readly care ! All that matters are the HD radios' rankings on Amazon ! :D

Right. That's what matters! To one person, which is you. The rest of us clearly don't care. :D

I respond, simply because it's funny to me when you get backed into a corner like you are today! :D
