HD2 multicasting - how do I get these new channels?
HD2 multicasting means more free FM channels and new programming available from local FM stations, which you can ONLY hear on your new HD Radio receiver by just tuning up or down the dial. Across the country, local FM stations are offering a wide variety of new formats and content on their HD2 channels, including more music, news, sports. You can tune in to anything from reggae, blues, classic jazz, to future country, new alternative, deep tracks, bluegrass, and local artists. Visit hdradio.com to find new HD Radio broadcasting stations in your area.
Is HD Radio broadcasting the same as satellite radio?
No. HD Radio broadcasting is subscription free… your favorite local AM and FM radio stations broadcasting digitally, producing radically improved sound, and many more new FREE FM channels.
Let’s get started! Tuning in to HD Radio broadcasting

You can tune back to the main station to hear its analog broadcast, or wait for the
A note on indoor reception and antenna placement
Always make sure you have the antenna properly hooked up directly into the HD Radio receiver. If you are in a building with poor reception (metal beams, concrete walls), try to locate the receiver by a window for better reception. If your HD Radio receiver will not respond, power down the unit to reset the tuner, and then power it back up again.
