Yeah, I know the guy behind it is so anti-iBiquity/HD radio that he's not very 
objective, but that doesn't mean he doesn't still make some good points.

Well, that's where you have to start looking very closely at the advertising 
that was used.  While IANAL, I doubt one would have much difficulty finding 
consumers who felt that the actual performance of HD radio was pretty far from 
what was advertised to them.

It's also the modulation format chosen (OFDM) as well as the coding used 
(i.e., how much error correction/redundancy was applied).
