It would be even better if they actually made the radio...

I received a reply from Walter Hess of Eton to my query if the Eton E1
XM will have IBOC capability. The answer, in a word, is no. No IBOC,
no DAB, no WorldSpace, no DRM. Not even Sirius. AM, FM, SW, and XM
satellite (subscription) only.

Personally I think this is a mistake in what looks otherwise to be a
very interesting new receiver.

I find the whole concept of that receiver to be flawed.

Subscribe to XM radio for $8.00 (?) per month and get glorious
digital-quality MONAURAL sound? No thanks.

It would have made a LOT more sense if they had added a matching

"satellite"
speaker.
