    HD Radio: Thoughs and opinions?

    Anyone have much experience with it? What's it like? Worth the $150 tuner to run it? I like the idea of it being free, and the hardware is the same price as Sat radio which costs $15/mo or whatever. But is it even worth trying to put it in? I've never known anyone with it so I have nothing to go off of. I'd like to hear your thoughts/experiences/opinions on it!

    do you even get extra channels? arent there only a few radio stations that are in HD?
    i dont really know much about it because i never listen to the radio and just use my zune or iphone in the car through the aux-input in the receiver. that way i can choose what to listen to.

    with that said, i know there are tons of people who like the randomness of the radio, too.

      There are quite a few extra stations around PDX available in HD only. www.hdradio.com lists them all

        was thinking about this for my semi truck. but looking at the station guide, doesnt look all that exciting. i was hoping for a broader spread, not the same channels repeated. i guess the -2 channels have different programming but i dont know how diverse it is. ill stick with XM.

          Still have more commercials than music? If so, no thanks.

            All? Not even close. There are HD stations in my city, and it's not even listed on their drop-down list.

              The only reason why I got it is because the local news stations run the traffic and weather reports continuously on the -2.

              Normally on the regular station they run the reports every 10 minutes (e.g. 3:08, 3:18, 3:28, etc.) but I always manage to miss it right before I have to make a decision as to which interstate highway I am going to take. Very seldom are both major highways jammed but too often I was getting on the wrong one.
