Low Cost HD Radio

WOW, a posting from months ago, addressing a topic from NOW.

It could just as well ask "are you waiting in line for your PC?" If the answer is no, then I guess nobody buys them.

I went to the supermarket earlier. No line! Must mean nobody buys groceries anymore.
 
Mike,

I went to the supermarket earlier. No line! Must mean nobody buys groceries anymore.

You and clouseau would really help decrease the noise on this message board if you would not acknowledge this guy's idiotic posts. He has been doing this on this message board topic for nearly a year now, using various login names (which I won't list here because I refuse to acknowledge him). He can't help himself. Unfortunately, he just doesn't get it, and he makes those of us who have a real bone to pick with IBOC technology look ridiculous because he refuses to educate himself or to learn proper message board etiquette, so he gives all of us on the negative side of this issue a bad reputation.

He looks for attention. Notice that as soon as a discussion turns serious or gets a bit technical, he stays out of it. That's because he has no original ideas of his own and the only thing he knows how to do is post URLs to meaningless blogs and worthless opinion pieces. If you both would stop commenting on his posts and trying to reason with him (which is virtually impossible to do), then eventually he will go away. R.F. Burns used to talk to him directly and he finally also realized it is useless to do so. If nobody comments on his posts then eventually he will have no more reason to post.

This is just a suggestion to make this topic a more sane place to post. Please don't take it personally.

"119 Buck Receiver"

"Not sure how I missed Gizmodo's HD radio stuff, but they linked to this 119 dollar receiver back in April. Not a bad price, really, but it looks like it would sound pretty horrible. That's okay, when you get a nice little multiband sony AM/FM radio for 20 bucks at Target, but this is 100 bucks here..."

A typical reaction from consumers - HD Radio does not offer a justifiable cost/benefit to consumers.
