    Just a quick note.. HD Radio is *not* High Def. In fact its a proprietary technology, and stands for Hybrid Digital. The FM hybrid digital mode can carry approx 100, 112, 125, or 150 kbps of lossy data depending upon the Station Manager's power budget and/or desired range of signal.

    Compare this to roughly 1400 kbps CD quality, and you can see there is much level to be desired

    A number of issues are discussed here (scroll down to criticisms): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_Radio
