Since we often get vehicles at Autoblog with satellite radio, I have tested the services for months. While I love the diversity of content, lack of censorship, and clarity of the talk shows, I do hear commercials on most of the stations I listen to. They don't appear with the same frequency as they do on radio (probably about 1/3 as much), but they're there. And since you have to pay for the service, I feel it is bull. That's just my opinion though. I like listening to the comedy channels, and it seems as though every other commercial is for male enhancement or gambling some joint supplement.
I don't see what the problem is in hoping that HD radio is all that it's cracked up to be, becuase free is better than $12.95. If HD radio gives me more choices with better quality and no subscription fees, I'll have more choices when the commercials come on. Traditional radio sucks because here in Detroit we only have about 15 good FM stations, and only 3 with the music I like. With HD radio, I'm hoping that changes, but I have no idea if it will.
