[BC] Quick!! IBUZ Absolutely Honest Web Site is Up!

[Ernie Belanger]

Finally had the chance to visit the site.

Misleading as Hell.

Problem #1

"250 new channels created so far"... WOW will someone  turn these guys in 
for misleading advertising... ok how about outright lies!!!

They are trying to make it appear HD 2 has turned into Satellite radio and 
they think consumers are stupid enough to believe it.

When someone looks at the format list its obvious you can't get all 250 new 
channels in every market. So why are they stupid enough to claim that.

Problem #2

There is no consistency in format availability in each city. Some formats 
are available in some cities but not others.

Problem #3

There is not consistency in format location on the dial.

By that I mean this: I someone travels to a city from their home and rents a 
car they should be able to go to the first station on the dial's HD 2 and 
get the same format as they do back home. Like Satellite. CH 186 (whatever 
format it is) will always be CH186 wherever you go you can depend on it)

This won't be perfect everywhere because  the number of stations vary from 
market to market, but for the most part a core group of formats located on 
HD-2 in the same spot would add some consistency. So when you scan the HD2's 
you know 1st stop is "format A" second stop is "format B" etc.

Oh but then they would only have 20 or 40 new channels not 230.... (sarcasm 
switch off)
