David,
IBOC - The Birth of the All Digital Mode AM/FM/DS Radio :
HD {IBOC} Radio plus XM-SIRIUS Direct Satellite (DS) Radio
* Maybe Just Around The Corner {With in a Few Years}
The iBiquity IBOC Scheme for AM/FM Radios has already
been worked out.
So what is needed is a 'standard' [Common] Digital Interface
built into the soon to be "New" All Digital Mode AM/FM/DS Radios.
This 'standard' [Coomon] Digital Interface would simply be the
Visual Output using the Radio's LCD Display and Radio's
Knobs & Buttoms as the Control Inputs.
Attach a external Plug-and-Play XM or SIRIUS Satellite Radio
Tuner-and-Antenna Module to one of the 'New' All Digital Mode
AM/FM/DS Radios : And You Are Good To Go Direct [Digital]
Satellite Radioing !
Like It or Not : It Soon May Be A Done Deal : And . . .
That Will Be That [.] -ps- Until the Next Screw-Up !
idtars to see the future when you are swimming in it ~ RHF

- If any of you doubt that the FCC wants to kill free radio,
- read on:
-
- "Analyst: XM+Sirius+HD is likely.
- Stifel Nicolaus analyst Blair Levin thinks it's likely the FCC
- will require such a mandate as part of its approval of the deal,
- as well as a requirement that any new receivers include
- terrestrial HD capabilities.
-
- Meanwhile, U.S. Electronics is pushing the FCC to hold a
- summit among a number of parties citing a "newly emerged
- consensus" that a combined XM-Sirius be required to make
- their receiver technology "open" allowing more choices for
- consumers.
-
- Among those backing the requirement are iBiquity and the
- HD Digital Radio Alliance."
