I have a CD-Receiver which is HD-Radio Ready.What does this mean?And what can I do to listen to HD-Radio?

Answer 1

I assume you're talking about an in-dash car receiver. That means the manufacturer also sells a special box that translates HD radio signaling and outputs that to your head unit. The head unit is capable of controlling the HD Radio box, which is what made your receiver HD Radio-ready.

Depends where you live. Bigger cities have more HD channels than rural areas. I agree with previous posts about XM sound quality. I canceled by XM subscription because it sounds super compressed and worse than a MP3 file. Sirius sounds better but without geostationary satellites, the moving satellite (one over north America at a time) signal is worse at times affecting reception. I am hopeful for HD. It allows the current radio signal to be split into up to 3 different formats. So, in theory, you will be able to get the variety of satellite radio without paying a monthly fee. Based on equipment costs, you are going to pay hundreds of dollars on satellite receivers, subscription and activations fees as well as an HD radio conversion kit or new receiver. So for the here and now if you are in a rural area, satellite may be the better choice but in the next few years HD radio will offer similar qualities of satellite with a monthly fee as more and more stations adopt the new technology.

The two are not comparable. XM Radio is a whole different network of stations with digital quality broadcasts, and dozens of different genres of music, run by a single company. HD Radio is simply a broadcast technology that allows existing FM stations to broadcast their programs with better sound quality. The stations are owned by the same media companies that own regular FM. The sound quality you'll get from either will depend more on the quality of the audio components YOU have in your car or home. With good equipment (especially good speakers) both will sound fine. With cheap equipment, both will sound worse. At least most of XM is commerical-free and has a much wider variety of music. Commercial FM ,incl HD Radio is mostly dumbed down commerical crapola.
