I doubt it, its just that they are broadcasting other stuff on those channels. The NPR station broadcasts all the talk shows on one channel, all music on another, and I think the regular programming on the 3rd. A bunch of the FM stations have HD channels too, not sure how many each one has. THey say it is "near CD" quality.

The table HD radios are like $200 now too, I think there are only 2-3 companies licensed to build them. I have not looked at it that closely though.

You are right though, probably hard to tell the quality in a diesel car, but the content is different.

Just curious - can you tell the difference between HD & non-HD in a car stereo?

Personally, I have trouble telling the difference between Cassettes and CDs as well as VHS Vs DVDs. But that just may be me.

I'm sure many people can tell a difference, I'm probably not one of them ;-) Now, if I were driving a '95 W140 S600 on a silky smooth interstate somewhere I might notice a difference.

I must admit though, I do like new gizmo's. Every once in a while I start thinkng about one of those guidance computers that tell you where you are and how to get where-ever you want to go - but it's not something I need - I typically already know where I plan to go -

Sorry about the ramble -

I saw in the Sunday paper ads this AM an HD radio/CD for $200 at Best
Buy I think it was. Panasonic?  Sounds like a good price.  A lot of
stations are starting to broadcast digitally, and have multiple channels
of programs.  Our local PBS outlet has 3 HD channels now.
