sound system echoes

i have the satellite radio, but the same thing happens on fm stations. [haven't checked a.m.] there is a variable echo, not present most of the time but on and off, a word or even whole phrase will repeat. "now a word from our member..from our member stations", "voting in louisiana...ana." and so on. anyone else experiencing this? any ideas what's going on?

If it was only on the Sat radio I would have assumed it as a normal hiccup of the DA conversion, due to temporarily weak signal, interferences or else. Are you really sure it also happens in FM?

posted this question on bimmerfest, too. someone there says it's the hd signal, going in and out of hd reception. i'll turn off hd and see.

and, yes, i'm sure it happens on fm.

"HD" stands for? Nothing similar here anyway, worth to be brought to the dealer to have a check.

HD is FM Digital radio, similar to DAB.
