Actually, it's a very smart marketing move. XM has so much more 
quality marketing clout than the HD Dominion that they'll usurp the 
term HD as it applies to radio in no time. People with HDTV already 
expect 5.1 surround. Add it to satellite radio and IBUZ will have to 
find another name or settle for promoting the competition. Again, too 
little, too late for IBUZ.
