What kind of provisions are there for low-speed data transmission along with HD audio?
One of my locals (WVNS 102.5) has both RDS and HD. With the Boston Acoustics radio, if a station has HD it will display the call letters (apparently part of the HD datastream) but if that station also has RDS the RDS is ignored. If the station has RDS and is analog-only, the RDS data (PS) is displayed.
(WVNS has a translator on 102.1 which translates the RDS but not the HD -- so if I want to read the RDS data I tune to the translator instead<grin>)
Is there some kind of standard for transmitting something similar to the RDS PS data over the HD datastream? Certainly there's enough bandwidth to do so...
