Opinions of HD Radio?
HD Radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia According to iBiquity's website the "HD" is simply a brand name and has no meaning Check out the "Criticisms" Section. They could have picked an open standard (DAB/DAB+/DRM) and had global economies of scale, but instead went with a non inter-operable proprietary solution On the content side, are you going to be able to pick up anything other than ClearChannel stations? Some old comments here Is HD Radio Worth It? (by Jeremy Zawodny) including this "gem" HD radio is nothing more than polishing a turd. Any fidelity gain is crushed by the fact that they'll still compress the shit out of already over-compressed music to make it louder than the next station on the dial.

Positive thoughts to all those that need them. On the subject of meth addiction, one of the bleakest, yet most educational ( in the sense that I was not aware, just how destructive this is at a personal / community level) documentaries I have seen is Louis Theroux's The City Addicted to Crystal Meth where he examines how drug addiction has torn apart the city of Fresno in Central Valley, California. BBC - BBC Two Programmes - Louis Theroux - The City Addicted to Crystal Meth You can watch it here The City Addicted to Crystal Meth | Watch Free Documentary Online ( with pop up ads) or directly ( with pop up ads) here MEGAVIDEO - I'm watching it Not something (the addiction) I would wish on anyone
