"HDTV" is high definition TV, so naturally, it's easy to understand that "HD" radio
is high definition radio.

"HD" radio originally stood for "Hybrid Digital" radio. Now it's the trademark for
iBiquity's in-band on-channel (IBOC) digital radio technology used by AM and FM
radio stations to transmit audio and data via a digital signal in conjunction with
their analog signals. According to iBiquity's website, the "HD" is simply a brand
name and has no meaning. There is no connection with HDTV, although like HDTV,
the HD Radio specification provides enhanced capabilities over the old analog
format, such as 5.1 surround sound.

Both boast great sound quality which is true� they are way better that a normal radio station but still short of CD quality. If better sound if what you want then buy an HD receiver� if better sound and more options is what you want then buy a subscription to satellite radio.
