HD radio needs time to catch on. It continues to be a little confusing to some folks, but as with most new technology, it takes time and momentum for it to take hold. As larger companies, like Mercedes and Microsoft jump on board and promote this new HD technology with their products, more consumers will grow to appreciate the benefits and become comfortable with it. Also, as you say, in some markets apparently there is more advertising and more interest will be generated in those markets first.

BTW, This is not Consumer Reports, which is published by the non-profit organization Consumers Union -- and which forbids use of its ratings in advertising and sales brochures! Check this quote from Wikipedia: "Consumers Digest is an American for-profit magazine that allows companies to use its reviews for marketing purposes." Tricky name huh?

Yeah and what they never mention is that most, if not all, HD radios eventially sell at clearance at a fraction of their original price. I agree more B.S.

This is just more crap and posturing by iBiquity and their proponents to give the illusion that digital radio is on the verge of a consumer explosion. It's the usual B.S. brought to you by IBiquity and friends. People who understand what's happening see right through the noise.
