There was a show on mainmenu on ACB that mentioned digital, probably
overseas though. What's the accessibility trouble with it, as they portray
it to be so bad for accessibility? The only thing, and it applies to
satellite radio as well, is the info of what's playing isn't accessible. I
assume these radios will still tune similarly to the analog type, or are
they going to tune like XM receivers where you have channel numbers instead
of frequencies and everything is just thrown around the band? In order for
that to really work, a third party would have to own the band for an area
and the stations would all contribute to one big signal that the receivers
can pick from.
