Anyone have an HD radio and checked this channel out?
I was thinking of getting a new deck and if the dance station was worth listening to it would help me in my choice.

I have Sirius for Howard and Bubba the love sponge, satellite is the way of the future. HD is the FCC's weak attempt to compete with satellite radio.

so whats the station on HD?

isnt it supposed to be like a regular station but sounding "better"?

HD is just a new sales tool.

that being said Sirus, and XM are about to merge

They are playing a mix from fellow t.a. Kristina Sky on Area 33 right now!

Woo Hoo! Go K. Sky!

Not sure how well it works but... HD Radio is FREE. The way radio should be IMO! FM kinda sucks it's 2008 time for better radio technology. As for quality it should be pretty good because it's based on mpeg4 HE-AAC.

ETN.FM has a low bitrate aac channel that is probably very close: http://etn.fm/playlists/etn1-aac-low.m3u

yeah i hear it hear and there, the only reason why i envy XM is for there BBC radio1 broadcasts. I eventually get em online, but it would be nice to hear em live.

House of Sophie. It's only available if you have an HD Radio Receiver which absolutely sucks. I know is it supposed to be 103.7 HD2... but I have no way to verify that. I also have no clue what their staff is like.... been job hunting for it as well.

is radio 1 broadcasted on sirius or XM? if im correct they time shift in order for their schedule in UK match the same time in the US which kind of sucks cause morning times radio 1 just plays hip hop and other crap (at least thats what i heard when listening).

yeah actually your right, they do play it in the evening not exactly live.

its XM's "the move" station that plays it.

BPM also has the juicy show, another thing i wish Sirius had.

But once they merge it will be all good

i have all the radio 1 passed shows :P
