Yup. Too much crap crammed into the same space. It's just like HD2 and HD3, etc. You can only slice it so many ways.

That's another similar issue. The IBOC FM's with only HD1 sound pretty decent, but as soon as the HD2 is added, the quality of both suffers. I still contend that God gave us analog ears and that any scheme that converts an analog air signal to digital only to be converted back to analog for my ears is a solution in search of a problem.OKCRadioGuy said:
At least with XM, you will also notice that the quality of some of the channels will go up/down depending on the daypart. XM holds several patents for their technology that allows them to dynamically allocate their bandwidth
Even as a shareholder, I cancelled my subscription when money became tight. I wasn't listening as much and a lot of the channels sounds like crap... particularly the traffic channels.
I found myself listening to MSNBC and even more of Bloomberg than anything else.

I rented a Chevy Venture from Hertz last week and it had Sirius. 70s on 7 sounded particularly awful, with the high end above 10kHz rolling in and out randomly; sounded like tape running on an old reel deck with worn heads and tape guides. I didn't enjoy it at all. Whatever bit-rate their codecs are running at sounds particularly nasty on older, phase-indeterminate program material.
