HD Radio

I recently bought an HD radio and have found the listening to be quite enjoyable. From Hutchinson, with the help of an attic antenna, I can receive about 15 additonal FM signals from the Twin Cities, almost all commercial-free. There's jazz, blues, comedy, the BBC World Service in Spanish and a whole lot more. And I can listen to KFAN at night static-free.

I'm wondering if anyone else in the Hutchinson area has an HD radio who can tell me what they like or dislike about their radio. The one big positive, of course, is that unlike satellite radio, the service is totally free.
