The advantage is that a single board can be installed in all vehicles regardless of where they are sold and where they drive. The only sticking point is the rest of the world will not want to pay the licence fees to DTS for HD Radio when it is only used in USA and Mexico.

You're peddling incorrect information again Alan. Unlike DAB & DRM there are no license fees for HD Radio receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanh Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Pesto Lovin' man, Before you make accusations, do your own research and prove it prior to posting. Ibiquity has been charging these licence fees since the start of HD radio which is for a long time now. There certainly is and it is charged to the manufacturers per radio for manufactured and incorporated in the price of the receivers, just like they also charge all broadcasters. This has nothing to do with patents which are one off. https://hdradio.com/broadcasters/licensing Note the email addresses use DTS who took over Ibiquity http://dts.com/get-licensed Remember also that the audio is compressed by a bastardised versioin of MPEG4 so that MPEG-4 decompressors will not decode the signal.

Pesto Lovin' Man Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Alan you need to use current information. And stop confusing broadcaster licensing with receiver licensing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
