I have a car. That car has a AM/FM radio. The radio is not an HD radio. I doubt I will be getting an HD radio in my car anytime soon. But HD radio is ruining my current radio in my car.
When I press the button on my car radio to do a channel search, the search now stops on HD channels. Those channles are just noise. Luckily, I know that those are the new HD channels so I realize why my radio search feature keeps stopping on noise 2 times more than it ever has.
But not so lucky for those who do not know what HD radio is. For those poor souls, the only impression they can come away with is that the entire band on FM is cluttered with unlistenable junk.
The "powers at be" did NOT think this through. This is going to drive listeners straight to satellite radio. The entire analog FM band now sounds like a swath of unlistenable junk!
Dumb, dumb, dumb... talk about shooting one's feet off.
