This article is written about how and when the whole idea of broadcasting surround sound came to be. It acts as an introduction to several articles written about surround sound broadcasting.

Satellite radio is a digital radio and uses communications satellite which covers a lot grater range than terrestrial radio signals. It is strong enough not to need a satellite dish to receive but does require an antenna, which must have a clear view to the satellites (repeaters can be used in tall buildings, bridges or parking garages).

New HD Radios are capable of delivering stereo compatible surround sound formats. There are a few separate and very different surround sound technologies that are competing for adoption by radio stations converting to digital broadcasting.

Firstly HD Radio is a trademark of iBiquity Digital Corporation and “HD” is simply a brand name. There is no connection to HDTV or “high definition” terms whatsoever. It does give you enhanced capabilities over the old analog format – such as 5.1 surround sound – but the name was chosen simply for marketing purposes rather than anything else.
