Not quite, the article is misleading——click the link to the
actual bill:

           http://markey.house.gov/docs/telecomm/hr7157_final_text.pdf

It says,

 > service be capable of receiving terrestrial digital radio signals.

i.e., *satellite* capable receivers must also be IBOC capable, not
just any radio.
