Hi Tom,
I have DirecTV which has XM and I love it. You will get addicted I promise!
Oh, BTW, the trip was absolutely great and well worth it. I am, however,
totally exhausted!. I need to have a serious chat with you ASAP!

Subject: Off Topic: HD Radio In New Vehicle
Hi, all.
Well, the xyl and I regularly lease our vehicles, and today we picked up our
newest one.
I was interested to learn that the radio in the vehicle has HD radio.
This is not helpful in the semi-rural part of Michigan where we live, but
could be interesting to experiment with when we are traveling to larger
metropolitan areas.
But, my question is this:
How do you access the given HD radio stations?
I know that many stations have their main frequency (say 99.5 FM), but how
do you access their HD sub-channels for other program selections?
Do you start on the main frequency for the given station, and then go from
there? Or, does it depend on how the given radio is set up?
I know this is off topic, so please respond off list to:
[log in to unmask] if you have some suggestions.
Of course, the radio in the new vehicle also has XM/Serious satellite, which
I'm really going to have to be careful not to get addicted to, since we only
have a four-month trial subscription. Sure is tempting, though, due to the
terrific program variety selection, and no commercials!! (smile)
