Well, the band is full of HD hiss at night ; and not every HD station
is on HD yet! In Central Ohio, I left my trusty Sangean HDT1 seeking a HD station, and it didn't find any. Yet they're audible all over, on a regular radio ; even very strong ones. Verdict : you can't hear any HD radio in HD at night, but they're on all over for the benefit of ordinary listeners, the hiss being better programming perhaps. Or maybe it's to drive you to some other band that's more profitable. The commercial profit is in jamming. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

I have a feeling that is going to happen in general, especially with AM-HD causing massive problems. |

I'm more inclined to go the internet "radio" route myself, especially since I do most of my listening at home and not when I'm on the run. I certainly agree with Ron's remarks above, though. What a train wreck! I pulled out the old SW77 last night and basically heard a few powerhouse locals against a background of solid hiss and buzz. The hiss all by itself was enough to peg the S-meter on the 77. |

RH, Does your poor {none} Nightime "HD" Radio reception problems and comments apply to AM/MW "HD" Radio 'only' ? -Or- Are you experiencing this with FM "HD" Radio reception at Night too ? -If- What you describe is generally true for AM/MW Radio then there may be No Benefit for AM/MW Radio Stations to have their IBOC Operations extend beyond Daylight Hours and then; at least the Nights would be IBOC Free. ~ RHF . Yes, the AM band. Nothing good on FM either, programwise, now that Imus is gone ; one of the FM stations put Imus on a HD channel. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

I'd rather take the money I'd save on pay-radio and instead spend it on records, tapes, CDs and replacement diamonds for my hi-fi. ![]() And then there are always the hundreds of Internet audio feeds going on if I don't want to "spin my own".

The hiss all by itself was enough to peg the S-meter on the 77. It is about half the band here. Worst affected for me do far is KOH out of Nevada to which I used to listen to several programs on in the evenings. It only half the band because only some stations are broadcasting IBOC at night. If they all were the whole band would be trash. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

If you think that Digital radio is a crock of shi+ just wait till
regular Analog TV Broadcasting shuts down once and for all in 2008 or 2009 and all those folks who still use rabbit-ears find out their TV sets are now utterly useless unless they pay $50 for a converter box. Looks like we've come full circle! I can remember UHF converter boxes on TV sets in the 50's and 60's - except they worked! I know many people who've tried getting digital TV on an antenna and almost all of them had nothing but problems. |
