How interesting - a Board Member from competing Sirius; these various relationships may prove very interesting.

Quite a huge gordian knot of incestuous relationships!
Samsung, Radio Shack, broadcasters, and so very much more.

Thanks, again for the research, Pocket.

As it has been stated many times, Ibiquity provides technology for Sirius and XM.

Not all that surprising, actually.

Yeah, break out the tinfoil hats. They're coming for you.

INCESTUOUS??? Now even the board members are evil. I love you guys.

What technology does iBiquity provide to Sirius and XM?

What technology does iBiquity provide to Sirius and XM?

I don't know precisely as they didn't say. He talked about it in the C-Span interview, though....

I would speculate some type of encoding technology, but that's just a SWAG on my part. I don't know specifically.

I thought you said

As it has been stated (where?)many times, Ibiquity provides technology for Sirius and XM.

Now you say you don't know, but "he" (I assume Struble)

talked about it in the C-Span interview, though....

The truth is that both XM and iBiquity use slightly modified versions of aacPlus.
Scroll down and look at the "partners" list:

This just proves you can't trust an HD supporter.

Do you mean the tin foil hat antennas necessary for portable HD radio reception?
HD supporters are the ones who need tin foil hats for use as portable HD antennas. :

I guess you watched the entire interview in the 16 minutes it took you to post your nasty reply? Did you watch the C-span Interview? (Obviously not) Struble, clearly talked about how HD radio is not the only source of revenue for Ibiquity. I've seen it posted around. It WAS on national television for God's sake.

As I said I "Guessed" it was Encoding, but I had no idea. In the most polite way possible, "Maybe you ought to take a look at the interview which I believe is still on the CSpan website before you go too much furthur"

YMMV

both satrads use ibiquity and pay a per device royalty fee which is paid quarterly based on devices sold..the last year i had saw a real number was in 05 it was just over four million dollars for both companys

So if they all use the same codec then the only quality difference is bitrate, and HD radio has been lowering theirs to allow spectrum space for HD2, 3, 4(?) and data channels. So soon HD radio will be no better quality then analog FM, and perhaps worse.
Just another reason to avoid buying into this problematic HD radio technology.

sirius is using the pac and xmsr is usiun the newer aac

Ladies and Gentlemen, these are the kind of tactics routinely used by those 2 or 3 NUTBALLS with a bias against HD radio on this board. I use this thread as an example.

Clouseau- A statement is made that Xm and Sirius have a tech relationship with Ibiquity.

Skeptic - Question: what do they provide?

Clouseau - Not sure I would guess coding but I don't know. It was discussed in the CSpan interview.

Skeptic - It's not coding. Conclusion - "This just proves you can't trust an HD supporter."

Clouseau - I never said it was coding, I said it was mentioned in the Cspan interview. Have you watched it?

3rd party - It IS coding and there is a royalty.

Skeptic - Well if the coding is the same then it will suck in the future so don't use it.

I am just so tired of the foolishness on this board by a very few posters. There ARE legitimate issues with HD radio. Very few if any of them ever get discussed because the "Noise Floor" of stupidity from 2 or 3, drown out the legit discussion.

And I hear the same complaints about those 2 or 3 nutballs from BOTH sides.

What a shame.

hay im not a nut ball....i posted a fact , I also think hd radio will make it.. i dont like the way its being forced on broadcasters and or consumers indirectly, by a group of owners for their gain.....imho

that does not make me a nutball,because i honestly question the motive behind the concept..

the art of radio needs to be found to profit in todays digital world longer term ,more downsizing wont fix the basic industry problem and im talking across all platforms. then with live on the go audio/video coming to your choice of a growing list of devices and platforms. i see more pain for the radio industry as a whole based on stand alone audio. way to much time has been wasted on the switch to digital systems and devices for widespread use.

but a nut im not,

mel is not on the ibiquity board in any fashion.. the info is plain wrong

two,the baseband chipset from agere for sirius has both pac/aac+ built into it, from the second generation chipsets.

So anyone who disagrees with you is necessarily a "nutball"?
I'm sure virtually everyone here disagrees with you about something, does that make everyone but you a "nutball"?
