Can I use an XM radio to receive HD radio?

Question

I am interested in receiving HD radio. Can I use an XM radio to receive the HD radio signal? If so, can I receive it if I have not subscribed to XM radio?

Answer 1

Xm radio operates at totally different frequencies (think in terms of the difference between am and FM on your radio) than HD radio does. So nope..not gonna happen

Answer 2

The other answer is correct. I'm just going to add that, if faced with a choice, I'd go XM or Sirius (XM is my preference). Unfortunately, the geniuses in charge of the HD project kind of blew it. It's not all it's cracked up to be - and I, unfortunately, don't think it ever will be.

Answer 3

NO!!! You must have a HD Radio to get HD Radio. XM Radio is only for XM Radio. You can get a HD Radio online or at walmart, bestbuy, radio shack etc... to tell you the truth, XM Radio is better then HD Radio.
