[BC] HD Radio -- Folks we have to get it right!

[Robert Meuser]

I watch CNN but usually only at work where there is no DVR. My DVR does the 
channel skimming and finds all the law and orders, CSI and much more. Plus there 
is the on demand on cable. I do not have enough hours in the day to watch 
everything  I "catch".

But it still bothers me greatly that I see things flashing by on my XM and 
Sirius screens that I would have loved to hear but not at that time.

Local radio is all but lost. There is 1010 WINS outside of that I would have to 
move  to Las Vegas (where I turn off the sat receivers) to hear decent over the 
air radio and then that is only one station.
