The problems of "HD-Radio" are big.
Radio stations put objectionable programming on an HD-2 channel so an adult can not buy a kid an HD capable receiver without being guilty of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
People do not know what "HD" means and therefore will not buy a digital radio. If iBiquity and the broadcasters would drop the stupid name "HD" and use something such as "Digital Channel One" then people would wonder about it and investigate.
Broadcasters should filter out upper frequencies if they use a low bit rate on a "Digital Channel Two" to avoid phase distortion.
If the FCC ever tells broadcasters that they must be digital only then the iBiquity license must become free for the broadcasters.
