Introduction to XM radio
XM-Radio is a Satellite Based Radio Broadcast System that operates around 2.3 GHz from two 15,000 watts satellites; one named "ROCK," at 115 Degrees West, the other named "ROLL" at 85.0 Degrees West. Or another way of saying, the satellites are positioned over the East and West Coasts of US. The service covers only US.
Due to the limitations of satellite transmission, the signal is not able to penetrate buildings, so it cannot effectively cover dense urban areas. The terrestrial repeater network extends SDARS coverage and allows providers to reach the greatest number of subscribers and provide quality coverage. The repeaters receive the XM signal directly from the satellites and then re-transmit it to XM radios anywhere.
XM provides digitalized radio programs in terms of channels. Each channel is a program that the user can tune to. A category is a group of channels. Examples of categories are classical, news and sports.
XM is a paid service. That means users have to make a subscription to XM before they can enjoy the programs. However, XM does give some free-to-air channels. The users can listen to one of them without making any subscription.

Introduction to HD Radio
This audio system is able to receive standard analog FM/AM radio broadcasting as well as digital HD Radio FM/AM broadcasting.
HD Radio technology provides digital and analog reception using existing FM and AM broadcasting frequencies.
Currently, radio stations broadcasting an HD Radio signal are operating in a hybrid mode of both, analog and digital, in order to reach both receivers. In both modes, analog and digital, the broadcasted program contents is the same(except of multicasting, see below).
Eventually, as analog receivers are replaced by digital ones, radio stations may be able to turn off their analog broadcasting and use only the digital one.

Multicasting

HD Radio FM stations are able to broadcast multiple digital program streams(channels) over a single FM frequency.
For example, a HD Radio FM station can run a main channel of music and a sub channel of news(or even two different music channels) at one frequency. But only the program content of the main channel is also broadcasted analog.

HD Radio signal delay

"To overcome the delay that digital systems inherently produce, HD Radio technology first uses the audio signal of the analog broadcasting when you tune to an AM station or to the main channel of a FM station. After that, the system will blend from analog to digital signal.Normally, this blending is very smooth. If you experience a skip in program content of several seconds, the radio station has not implemented HD Radio broadcasting correctly. This is not a problem with your audio system.Due to the fact that sub channels are only broadcasting digital, blending from analog to digital signal is not possible if you tune to a sub channel. In this case playback of the sub channel starts after several seconds, this is a normal function."

Automatic switching between digital and analog broadcasting

"If the reception of the digital signal is lost, the system switches automatically to the analog signal. As soon as the digital signal is available again it will switch back. Due to the fact that sub channels are only broadcasted digital, first the system mutes playback if you have tuned to a sub channel and the digital signal is lost.Additionally, the main line shows the message No HD signal in place of station name.Second, after 1 minute with the digital signal lost, the system will automatically tune to the analog signal of the corresponding frequency."

Text based information

HD Radio stations are able to broadcast text based informations, e.g. station name, song title and artist name. The Driver Information System is able to display these informations.
