Law Firm 'Investigates' HD Radio

September 1, 2010: A New Jersey personal injury law firm may be
hovering around a class action lawsuit related to HD Radio, as it says
it is "investigating" the technology and wants to hear from people who
have had problems with factory-installed HD in cars. Keefe Bartels
says there have been "numerous complaints about HD Radio from not only
the radio industry but also consumers."

Among the complaints cited on the law firm's website are receivers
switching from HD to analog and an associated "echo sound," "crackling
or static sound when HD Radio is inactive," "insufficient numbers of
HD Radio stations," "loss of signal while driving in valleys or
between high buildings," signal disruption in different environmental
conditions, and interference with adjacent channels.

The law firm notes that HD doesn't stand for "high definition " and
says developer iBiquity "likely uses the 'HD' as a marketing device
based upon consumers' understanding and ever-increasing desire for HD
television."

It also names the automakers that are factory installing HD Radio.

The law firm says on its website, "The attorneys at Keefe Bartels are
continuing their investigation into HD Radio and whether consumers are
being forced to purchase technology that does not work as claimed. If
you have experienced problems with your factory-installed HD radio
receiver, we are interested in speaking to you."
